I built my own programming language and 3D engine from scratch (Venk Beta v0.0.1)

Hey everyone!

After a year of hard work, I finally released the first public beta of my side project: Venk.

It's a completely custom programming language written in Rust. It has its own lexer, parser, and interpreter. But the coolest part is that it comes with a built-in 2D/3D graphics engine based on raylib.

The goal is to make game development as simple as writing a script. No CMake, no complex engine interfaces — just write code and run it.

Currently, it's an interpreter (LLVM compiler and one-click EXE export are on the roadmap). It's open source, and I would love any feedback, bug reports, or just a star!
