G Lang – A lightweight interpreter written in D (2.4MB)

read original related products more articles

Hi HN,

I've been working on a programming language called G. It is designed to be memory-safe and extremely fast, with a focus on a tiny footprint.

The entire interpreter is written in D and weighs in at only 2.4MB. I built it because I wanted a modern scripting language that feels lightweight but has the safety of a high-level language.

Key Features:

Small: The binary is ~2.4MB. Fast: Optimized for x86_64. Safe: Memory-safe execution. Std Lib: Includes std.echo, std.newline, etc.

I would love to get some feedback on the syntax or the architecture from the community!
