History

The story behind the development of this project.

Story

Earlier on, I had released viteshell v0.6.0. It is a minimal bash-like shell implementation written in TypeScript. During it's development, I learnt how to build a small custom parser for parsing user input into an abstract syntax tree that eventually made the implementation possible.

On the morning of 30th December 2023, I was browsing the internet when I landed on an awesome youtube video describing how to create a programming language from scratch using TypeScript. Watching this youtube video inspired me into thinking, "What if I created an simple custom scripting language that would solve Mathematics problems?"

My initial idea of this language was that plain and simple. On 4th January 2024, I made the first working version from which I continued to fix several logical bugs as well as adding several features like builtin functions.

5th January 2024 was launch day 🎉
