Most 15-year-olds are playing games; I decided to build the engine behind them.
I’m Vishwam Phalke, a Class 10 student from Pune, and I just launched Nexus—a custom programming language built from the ground up using Python and the SLY (Lex/Yacc) library.
Why build a new language? 🛠️
I wanted something that bridged the gap between simple syntax and powerful "Agentic AI" capabilities. Nexus isn't just a project; it's the core of my agency, Overpowered Studios.
The Tech Stack:
Lexer/Parser: SLY (Python-based Lex/Yacc)
Architecture: Custom AST logic and Interpreter
Environment: Designed for rapid prototyping and AI-driven automation.
What’s Next?
I’m currently optimizing the global update commands and preparing for a browser-based game publishing spree.

I'd love to hear from other compiler enthusiasts or fellow teen devs! What was your first "big" project?
