Hey HN
I’ve been building *W++*, a scripting language that looks like Python but runs on the .NET runtime. It started as a fun side project, but it evolved into something surprisingly powerful — and potentially useful:
Key Features:
- Python-style syntax with semicolon-based simplicity
- Compiles to .NET IL with experimental JIT support
- Can run interpreted or compiled
- Built-in CLI for managing projects, running, and building
- Supports importing NuGet packages and converts them to .ingot modules automatically - MIT licensed and fully open-source
You can even do things like:
wpp
import Newtonsoft.Json
let person = new JObject()
person["name"] = "Alice"
print person["name"];
Use Cases:
Game scripting (Unity, OpenTK support in progress)Education (gentle intro to .NET without C# syntax)
Blazor scripting
Embeddable scripting engine for .NET apps

I’d love feedback, ideas, and thoughts. Thanks for reading — and if you’ve ever said “I wish Python ran on .NET,” this might be for you.
