Show HN: Parlan – a new programming language for fun

  Hi HN!

  This is my new programming language, Parlan, with a simple philosophy:

  - parlan is not trying to be the next "X-language killer". - parlan is not trying to be the next standard to write software. - parlan just exists, if you want to use it, great! if not, that totally cool too.

  i'm currently searching feedback about my syntax and/or my implementation.

  The compiler is currently written in Rust, and transpiles to C.

  Thank you in advance!

    This is a simple example program in Parlan:

      extern func printf(fmt: str, ...): int;
      
      func main(): int {
        var x = 45;
        var i = 0;
        while i < 10 {
          printf("x * i = %d\n", x * i);
          i = i + 1;
        }
        
        return 0;
      }
