At least we’re better than Visual Basic.
W++ is a fun, experimental, and completely over-engineered programming language designed for learning, chaos, and memes.
It includes async lambdas, pseudo-OOPSIE principles (Object-Oriented Programming Sometimes Isn’t Excellent), and full integration with a custom-built VSCode extension.
This repo contains the full source code of W++ after it reached over 33,000 downloads on the VSCode Marketplace — and was mysteriously flagged and removed.
- ✅ Full tokenizer, parser, and interpreter written in C#
- ✅ Async/await support
- ✅ Lambda expressions (single and multi-param)
- ✅ Control flow: if, else, while, for, switch
- ✅ Try/catch + throw and return
- ✅ Custom syntax highlighting and snippets in VSCode
- ✅ The OOPSIE model of development (trust us, it’s revolutionary)
This project was created by Ofek Bickel as an educational challenge — to build a real, working language from scratch and share it with the world.
We believe that even chaotic, meme-fueled languages can teach real-world compiler and runtime skills — and spark joy while doing it.
wpp let greet = (name) => { print "Hello, " + name; };
greet("world");

Nope. W++ borrows Python’s readability and indentation style, but it is not Python or a Python runtime.
- It’s not compatible with Python libraries
- It has a custom syntax, runtime, and execution model
- It compiles to IL and integrates tightly with the .NET ecosystem
- It uses semicolons and braces by design
- It supports NuGet imports — not pip
Think of it as:
“.NET scripting with a Python-inspired flavor” — not “Python on .NET” (that’s IronPython).

This source code is now public and fully open. If there were any issues leading to its takedown, feel free to open a GitHub issue or contact the author. We're happy to clarify and work toward reinstatement.
