Instead, I wanted to build something that focuses on: Simplicity Readability Control Learning how programming languages work Kern is still evolving, but it’s already functional and usable. What is Kern? Kern is a lightweight, experimental programming language designed to keep things minimal and clear. It aims to: Reduce unnecessary complexity Make behavior predictable Provide a clean foundation for experimentation It’s especially useful for: Learning language design Building small tools Understanding how interpreters/compilers work Example Here’s a simple example of Kern in action: // import the datatools module datatools = import ( " datatools " ) // parse JSON into a usable object j = datatools . json_parse ( " { \" x \" : 1, \" y \" : 2} " ) // convert a table/object into a TOML string t = datatools . toml_stringify ({ a : 1
