CobaltLanguage
Cobalt is a lightweight, experimental, fully object-oriented programming language built using Python. It is designed for learning programming concepts, language design, and rapid prototyping. Cobalt provides support for all major OOP features, including classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, encapsulation, constructors, and reusable modular code design. The language uses a custom interpreter that performs lexical analysis, parsing, and runtime execution. It includes built-in standard libraries such as time, random, and math for common computational tasks without external dependencies. Cobalt also comes with a custom Windows-based IDE built using Tkinter, providing code editing, execution, and output viewing in one environment. The project is distributed as a ZIP package containing the language runtime and IDE. It is intended for beginners, students, and developers interested in experimenting with programming language development and software engineering concepts.
