MAWA - A language as simple as Python but as powerful as Assembler
SMRTR summary
A 13-year-old Colombian programmer named Samuel Leonardo Páez Garzón has created MAWA, a programming language he describes as having Python's simplicity with Assembler's power.
The language cuts through the complexity that plagues other programming environments. While C and C++ require multiple steps to compile code - converting files through compilers, linkers, and format converters - MAWA compiles directly from source to binary, just like traditional Assembly language.
Garzón demonstrates this efficiency through a simple program that prints two letters with a line break. His MAWA version accomplishes this task in just a few lines, compared to the lengthy Assembly code required for the same output. The language handles low-level operations like video memory manipulation and color formatting with streamlined syntax.
Beyond MAWA, the teenage developer is building an operating system called Win Anti App Anchor, written entirely in his new language. His ambitious project represents a fresh approach to programming that prioritizes directness and simplicity over the layered complexity that has become standard in modern software development.
