Showcase: kLex – A 'Governed' language with 30+ libs written in Go.
**Meet kLex (nicknamed FROG): A functional, reactive, and strictly "Governed" language built in Go.**
I wrote kLex/FROG almost entirely using AI - only breaking from this as required. I did this for many reasons, but one was to see if I could undertake the task of writing a fully fledged scripting language in under 48 hours... Unfortunately I failed here, but not as badly as you may think... I was able to write everything that makes up the FROG language in a little over 60 hours using Claude. More importantly, my marriage is still intact :) kLex is built on the FROG philosophy:**Functional, Reactive, Opinionated, and Governed.** It bridges the gap between the flexibility of a tree-walking interpreter and the strictness of a schematic system. With 30+ standard libraries (including HTTPS, JSON, and Events) already built-in in FROG, it’s a "batteries-included" environment designed for predictable data flow and robust concurrency. To avoid any confusion, kLex is the language engine and FROG is the actual language name.
I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas on this. Thanks!
