Is my extension-like library allowed to be used in answers?

+2
−0

I'm not a golfer, I know, but I do have wanted to make a programming language back then. The name is BMPL (Builder's Multi-Purpose Language) and is currently a library I made in C (clang). It's not essentially for golfing or even an esoteric language, but a simple to understand and basic syntax language which I have planned months ago that was never accomplished. Instead, I spent my time making functions for the language and it's what you have in that repository.

I want to use this library for a "Hello, World!" answer which is some simple code:

main(){say("Hello, World!")}

And I've been wondering if I could even post such thing.

Question: Can I answer using this in-progress non-golfing language that's only a library right now (and would stay that way unless I got to know how to make a real compiler)?

There's a lot of issues with the library - most notably you should never define functions inside header files. I'd recommend to post it for Code Review at https://software.codidact.com/categories/44

Lundin‭ I don't see the problem with it being in .h, but okay. Which problems should I address though, since that would help when I post the question?

General Sebast1an‭ If you post it under Code Review, there doesn't need to be a specific problem to solve. Rather you are expected to post complete & working code. If you are extra curious about for example portability or performance or style etc you can mention it in the question though, as that tells reviewers what you are most interested in getting feedback about.
