Nearly everyone I know over the age of 20 has tried pot at least once.

It's pretty authoritarian that the government feels the need to protect me from them by locking them in a solid brick cage for 5 years. My manager's son is in jail for 10 - 20 years for having too much pot on him.

I want to tell her that I'm doing everything I can to support politicians that want to legalize weed, thereby freeing her son, but she's a Trump voter and that would just piss her off. She also smokes weed, but she's much more invested in anti-illegal-immigration... here in Ohio.

What is, the library linking?

languages are recursive for one thing. maybe you know that and can already parse complex expressions, but otherwise I would start with a simple arithmetic expression parser.

other than that, there's all kinds of complex things that are not so easy. type inference, scopes, closures, lambdas. or even, what about something simple like a class?

I wrote a math string solver at one point that used pemdas. My interpreter did subroutines, so recursion worked. I had multiple hashtables (planned) for scopes that were disposed at the respective at the end of methods. It was slow, as it worked with the string the whole time, so I'd probably compile it into objects representing values and object references before running.

For classes I'd probably define a class with object representing all methods objects properties and such, but I never did get around to working with that. I guess you'd just have to follow the logic of a compiler.

It would basically be Java at that point. :P

everything I'd say would sum up to "I really think it's more complicated than you realize". I don't like how this kind of thing tends to turn into a pissing contest.

What is, the library linking? That might be a pain. Most things to general syntax I've already done.

Just out of curiosity I'm starting one for fun. It's been a while since I've made an interpreter, and none of them have been really well written. It's been bothering me, the things I could have done better. I doubt I'll finish it.

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as arrogant, so I'll just say yes, it's probably much harder than I think.

You say you could write a C# interpreter, but have you actually attempted to write one? Would it be the level of quality you'd want to show off? Maybe some people would find that impressive, but the more complicated your projects are, the higher you're setting your standard and opening them up for higher scrutiny. I'm of the mindset that a simple program made really well is better than a complicated one made haphazardly (obviously there's a certain minimum complexity that still needs to be met).

As much as I really want to now, I really should not spend my time writing a Windows exclusive C# interpreter.

well, it might not be that hard to *start* writing a C# interpreter (in C#). but like, good luck with type inference and generics and covariance, etc.etc. I have myself written an interpreter, but only by using an extremely constrained language and syntax. writing an interpreter for a general-purpose language is no small feat.

I'd probably just use a lot of reflection to replicate the code running on the actual framework running underneath. For storing data, I'd probably do a hashtable[Type] of hashtable[index]. It wouldn't be perfect, but I'd be able to get an XNA game playing at full speed. It would be kind of cool, but ultimately completely useless and a waste of time.

Getting an interpreter on another OS/Architecture? That would be hard. That would be Wine levels of work, or at least, it would have to use Wine.

I've written a very crappy C++ interpreter and enough of an NES emulator to get the gist of how emulators/interpreters really work.

I've already done a ton of work generating C# code out of objects and generics and things like that with my object to child class converter. That's something I'm actually proud of.

And no, I really don't understand JavaScript, but my definition of "basically the same thing" is more, "relative to SQL and HTML, JavaScript is basically C#, and should be very easy to learn"

I'm not, I still have roughly 30 more hours of video to go, and then I have to write a couple programs until I know it inside and out.

I did this with C#, I could write a C# interpreter at this point.

CSS isn't really a programming language, JavaScript is basically a slightly different C#, HTML is super easy itself.

If I want to be certified I can get a C certification, and if a lack of degree is hurting my resume I'll see if I can get something worked out.

Given I do have a lot of programming experience, I just learned CSS, HTML, and Javascript in about 8 hours watching YouTube tutorials on 2x speed.

I would have paid 6 months of my time and who knows how much stress and money had I gone to college, sitting through boring classes memorizing methods of learning things, taking bullshit filler classes on how to study where the teacher spends 4 hours threatening me, a grown ass adult, with her personalized system about what's going to happen if I dare be late past 15 minutes more than twice. Not to mention the fucking useless (for me) English classes, teaching me how to write a properly formatted scientific paper, or essay on a fucking horrible peice of literature, with some forced corny ass feminism message shoe-horned in. I am a software engineer. I am not a scientist or writer.

Then there was what I spent 1/6 my time on, my SQL class, I basically spent 6 months learning the difference between first/second/third normal form, when all I really needed to know was third normal form. I got a C in that class because I (ignorantly) didn't do 1/3 the homework. I literally could have learned it in less than a week on YouTube.

It's that kind of shit that's made incredibly apparent through actual usage, made overly complicated by being overly analytical and structured through arbitrary terms meant for the slowest of students to catch on and write some shitty code one day, code that will give someone competent a fucking hernia trying to fix.

Oh well. Time to find some apprenticeship jobs.
