About the challenge

Programming languages shape the way we solve problems. At Syntax Summit, we're challenging you to go one step further—not just write code, but create the language itself.

Your mission is to design and build a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) that simplifies solving problems within a specific domain. Whether it's Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Finance, Healthcare, Education, Cybersecurity, Game Development, Automation, IoT, or any other specialized field, your language should make complex tasks more intuitive, expressive, and efficient.

Your submission may include:

  • A custom programming language or DSL
  • A parser, interpreter, transpiler, or compiler
  • Documentation explaining the language's syntax and purpose
  • Sample programs demonstrating its capabilities
  • A real-world use case that highlights its value

    Do I need a team?

    Nope. Solo is totally fine. But if you want to team up with others, that's great too. Some of the best projects come from two people with completely different skills working together.
