Well im not sure if i can call it a programming language (not sure what it has to do to be a language) but im thinking of making something where you type a load of stuff in to a program and run it through another program and it will convert it to lua and run it

a) im not sure if anyone wants it…it will hopefully be easier to use than lua so a great thing for newbies and later i will make it more advanced
B)/> not sure how i should make the syntax…please post some suggestions if you like the idea
c) im not sure if there is there a point…and if it is possible?
d) shall i make it whitespace sensitive

Please comment below if you have anything to say about the topic

Find a simpler language such as.. something similar to BASIC and maybe write an interpreter for that?

BASIC or BATCH would be easy, I was thinking about making an assembler for it, instead of using an interpreter for it, as simulating ifs is much harder

well i was thinking…instead of it going through every line and interpreting every word, it would just look for certain things that are different in the new language…then i got into thinking about making a program that a) can detect and fix errors B)/> you can add text shortuts into (similar to functions)
