script

April 13th, 2006 by mike

I’ve decided to design a new web programming language. I’d like to create a language with the development speed and flexibility of PHP-style scripting with some of the more safety-related syntactic features of Java and the speed of (or as close as possible to) native compiled binaries. I propose a language whose syntax would be script like, object-oriented (like C++ not like Java), and compiled to native or near-native binary code.

Ideally, this language would be written in a loosely-typed style, compiled to a strongly-typed pseudo-code, then to assembly, and finally assembled into binary. For security reasons, the binary would be native code dynamically linked, at runtime, into an apache module “interpreter” which would house the memory allocation and other basic libc-like routines.

I think that this would allow one to create a robust full-featured web application in PHP time with Java safety and C-like performance.

Any thoughts ?
