There is a new Daric, this time running on the JVM. It's more interactive and performs just as well as the older Daric/C++.
Downloads are at dariclang.com, and the discord is the best place to ask for help.

Update Daric to 5.3. Fixed a compiler bug and added an enhanced “World in Lines” demo with cities.
No outstanding bugs that I know of!

A point release, 5.1. This is mostly about bug fixes and improving user experience. The editor has been updated to have a "project list" showing all files.
Next focus is context compile errors and debugging.
Linux version still isn't working.

I've released Daric "Ecton Hill" with a buttload of bug fixes. This is going to be a stability release, where everything should work. Not going to add any new features for a while.
Download from dariclang.com as usual.

The latest Daric/JVM "Chrome Hill" has been released (except Linux which has a teething issue).
This includes better audio (envelopes), Box2D integration, improved editor, improved font rendering and lots of bug fixes.
At dariclang.com as usual.

Thanks @thezolbatar for the sneak peek / early access to @dariclang - holy mother of .... this thing is fast. Really, really fast. Even on my fairly old ThinkPad laptop.

I’ve updated the Discord link as the previous one wasn’t working.
Daric/C++ is available in VS Code. Daric/JVM is in dev but DM for details about testing.
Daric/JVM is the future! It’s far more fun, just as fast and will ultimately have access to all the JVM libraries.

I've created a discord server. Let's see how this goes...

I genuinely like both of these styles of poster. The 1st gives of a 90s boxed software vibe and the second a 80s type in programming book style.

I've updated the VSCode extension for Daric. It's a little easier to get installed and running now.
Supports: Windows (x64), macOS (x64 & Apple Silicon), Linux (x64 & aarch64) - tested on Ubuntu.
Linux can't create standalone executables. Yet!

Daric is more than ready to use, I'll add libraries as I need (such as GUI, networking, graphics).
I achieved my goals, which is a BASIC that is fast and creates standalone executables on Win/Mac/Linux (Linux needs an update tho).
Time to create something fun with it now...

A small update to Daric (Win/Mac). As usual, install as a VSCode extension:
1. Search "Daric" and install. Restart.
2. Using command palette run "Download OS specific compiler".
Demos, limited docs etc. are all available in command palette with "Daric:" prefix.
Still a WIP!

I've updated dariclang.com with the latest v2 downloads. Windows is a ZIP rather than installer, and there is an experimental Linux version, runs on Ubuntu at least.
The Mac and Windows version can produce standalone executables, give me a shout if you want to try it!

Just playing with this now. The power of the language is impressive, anyone for a GUI coded in a simple and easy to read language? This is incredibly cool.
I've updated the (simple) dariclang.com website with downloads for Windows and macOS. No docs yet, but you can run the IDE and try out most of the examples I've shown on here and see the code or write new code!
All feedback, including retweets is very much appreciated.
