Experiment With A Simple REPL For A DPL

Towards Higher Level Syntax for Programming Languages 2024-11-09

A DPL is a Diagrammatic Programming Language.

I’ve built an experimental REPL - Read Eval Print Loop - for iterative program design using a blunderbuss method of spinning up 3 separate processes on my desktop computer.

The result runs “instantaneously” and needs no further optimization.

I created 3 short videos to demonstrate the evolution of the REPL. The final video shows that the diagram can be changed, recompiled, run, and have its output displayed in a local browser windows in a blink of an eye.

[If you’ve already seen the first 2 videos, feel free to skip to the 3rd video below]
