Hello, im new to this forum, but i was wondering if i could get your suggestions on syntax for my language im creating. anything and everything will help, thanks a lot for anything.

SML.

I would suggest that if you don't have a firm idea of the syntax you want your language to have, you should not be designing a language.

Indeed. If you don't know what you want a language to do, then there is probably no need for one.

LordZero: Syntax all depends on what your language is for. Logic, Prodcedural, Object Orientated, Markup, etc style languages all have different sytaxes. Also depends on whether it is a high or low level programming language.

I dont think you understand....I am asking for suggestions on syntax/markup..ie:
int main(void)
{
///blah...some code
}
etc... thats syntax, i know what the language is todo, i just want suggestions on how it should look

btw, its a low level language, for the most part, its sorta a mixture...but not really...

LordZero, I fail to see how my post indicates any lack of understanding of your question. If you don't know what syntax you want, don't try to design a language.

LordZero you may know what your language is going to do, but if you don't explain this to us, how can we give any meaningful suggestions on it?

What it's going to do is not the issue.

A small piece of advice: Think about what you want to be easy in your language. Now think about what sort of syntax would be conducive to making this easy.

Well, if "what it's going to do" includes the abstract syntax (the expression trees that result from parsing), then that is certainly quite influential on the concrete syntax.
