Built this because every image optimizer I found was either slow, bloated, or a subscription. Squish takes a folder of images, compresses them, done. ~4400 lines of C++, no dependencies, custom JPEG encoder with AVX2 (scalar fallback for ol

Hey, I made this because I kept waiting forever when parsing server logs at work. Tried a few tools, they were all slow as hell, so I figured I'd see how fast I could get it.Turns out if you skip the usual file reading stuff and just m

Thanks, that's fair criticism. You're right about the while-loop thing, that code was very naive and did break with nesting. I actually ran into exactly the pain you described and ended up fixing it the hard way. It was one of the

Yes, I used AI during development. I treated it as an assistant for explanations, brainstorming, and occasional small code snippets. The language design, compiler architecture, semantics, and the majority of the implementation were written

I totally agree. "Python-like" was a bad choice of words on my part. I meant it more in terms of learning curve and explicitness, not the surface syntax. Structurally its more like C/Rust and I should have said that from the

Right now there’s intentionally no stdlib, so yes, printing would ultimately boil down to a direct write syscall. The idea is that the core language stays as thin as possible and anything higher level lives on top of that, either as compile

Yeah, that’s fair. Conceptually it’s not that hard if you’re willing to do a proper preprocess pass and generate INDENT and DEDENT tokens. For this first version I mostly optimized for not shooting myself in the foot, braces gave me very ex

Yeah braces made the parser way simpler for a first attempt. Significant whitespace is on the maybe-list but honestly seems scary to implement correctly

Yeah that's fair. It's got "fn main()", types like "i32", and uses braces. More Rust-like than Python to be honest. The "Python-like" part is mostly wishful thinking about readability. Should've

I built AXIS as a learning project in compiler design. It compiles directly to x86-64 machine code without LLVM, has zero runtime dependencies (no libc, direct syscalls), and uses Python-like syntax. Currently Linux-only, ~1500 lines of Pyt
