So, I like golfing, and I like modern C++. I am golfing in regular C++(11(14)) now, so obviously, I did not win a single challenge yet. I noticed, that both Pyth and CJam (probably languages, that win most of the time) were designed entirely for this purpose. I thought at designing my own language as well.
But, I would like the language to be based on C++, probably using same structure, with STL, with shortened keywords and so. However, I do not think I am skillful enough to write my own C++ compiler, so I thought I would use existing one.
My question is, if I create a language Placeholdername
, with such compiler, that it will parse Placeholdername
source code into C++ code, and then calls C++ compiler to produce executable, can I compete in code-golfs with such language?
