Is it feasible to create a new language by adding features to C

just as was done with C++?

Some arguments are based on "past experience..."

However, such experiences are not absolute truths and cannot be equated with the current situation.

I’ve worked on something similar, but the code reconstructed from the Clang AST fails to compile due to various issues.

Can these issues be resolved?

If AI cannot reason, can humans?

I think the real question is: how do we define reasoning?

My view is that AI can reason, just differently from humans.

If life really exists there, it implies that life is everywhere in the universe.

That was absolutely terrifying.

For tasks you don't want to do (such as work-related ones), use an LLM.

For tasks you enjoy, write them yourself.

I once thought about generating visual representations of circuits created from code.

For instance, if you clicked on an n-bit adder,

you could see how it was recursively generated,

showing that it consists of a 1-bit adder combined with an (n-1)-bit adder.

I think that would be really interesting, but I just haven't had the time to actually do it.

Here is my code:

There is no documentation, but I think the design is worth a look.

The specific language doesn't matter much; using TypeScript to run it in the browser is a good choice.

As for a graphical interface for wires and gates—I don't think it's necessary;

Expressing it directly in code is more efficient..

Ten years ago, I worked on something similar for my graduation project.

I drew inspiration from the circuit simulator in SICP and a tool called Logisim,

and used Lisp to design a circuit simulation library.

The core concept was:

Each function could generate a circuit module,

that accepted multiple input lines—each consisting of multiple bits,

and produced a single output line, which also consisted of multiple bits.

For example, an adder would take two $n$-bit lines as input and output a single $n$-bit line.

Using this simulation library, I also built a simple CPU and implemented a factorial function using its machine language.

No, I'm also struggling with the naming issue.

I find that many languages designed by enthusiasts are better than mainstream ones,

yet we are stuck suffering with the mainstream languages.

The name of this project is too generic; it lacks distinctiveness.
