gorr-language
A toy specification language designed for my high school’s senior capstone project.
Researched and written from January to June 2023. Was one of ~20
people in my ~120-person class to be awarded distincition—basically honors—for my work.
- Presentation
- I heavily regret not recording this, as I think it was the best
presentaiton I’ve ever done. The full ODP presentation with speaker notes
can be found in
presentation/.
- Portfolio
- Proof to my advisor that I actually did something during the
class. Contains a draft version of my specification
and an abridged list of the ~10 papers I read for research.
- Specification
- The informal specification for Gorr, the language I created
to demonstrate my ideas. It served its purpose during the
presentation, but I would likely start from scratch if I write my own
speclang as its a little too imperative in some places and also
has some awkward underspecified operator precedence issues.
Still very proud of the fact that I was able to parse English
using EBNF; I love the idea of using restricted forms of language
to do computation.
