VivaTechnics 2 hours ago - Maybe, design your language first, then name it.- Single-letter names are mostly taken (e.g., B: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_(programming_language)- Focus on one key feature your language does better than others. Low-level languages are trending; high-level application languages are crowded. For example, if you could make assembly-style code user-friendly, that could be a strong niche. l1ng0 2 hours ago Bork prxtl 3 hours ago Chai dileeparanawake 3 hours ago Dingle3000 andsoitis 4 hours ago Pro Lapse 0xhald 2 hours ago rosa
