Hi all,
I don't know where would be the best place to post this, but I wanted some people's feedback on a DSL that I wrote for network analysis.
I am using nom for writing the lexer and parser, then using abi_stable crate for data types so that you can write plugins to the language and load them dynamically as well.
This language is made to work by loading a tree graph (network) and then call a bunch of node or network functions that work on it. There are different ways you can run functions, and use node/network attributes.
I am mostly self-taught, so it took a lot of years to get to a level where I could write something like this. I am learning a lot and having a lot of fun in the process, but I want this to develop into something that can have a practical usefulness to people. Since I am in the field of hydrology, I am making it with river networks in the mind.
To try it out, you can either download the executables for windows from the releases page, or you can compile it using cargo (for all OS; except android where GUI won't work, CLI will work in termux). I have some basic examples in the Learn By Examples section of the User Guide that you can follow.
- The repo is at: https://github.com/Nadi-System/nadi-system
- And the User Guide is at: https://nadi-system.github.io/ (although the guide also talks about other parts of the system, you can ignore them for this post)
Please let me know if you can't compile/use it as well. I have tried to make sure it has required instructions, but I could have missed something.
