Ruby-like programming language which compiles to PHP

I named it Iced Tea, but the name might change in a future. As you might have guessed is heavily inspired by Coffeescript. It's my first try at a programming language, and I had a lot of fun working on it!

Please let me know what you guys think!

Here's the repo: https://github.com/gosukiwi/IcedTea/

Just FYI, IcedTea is a pretty big thing in the java world.

Yes, Thanks! I saw it, that's why I said I'll need to change the name (and I'm open to suggestions!). I just wanted a name for the repo while I worked on the language and that's the first thing that came to my mind

Ahh okay, just wanted to make sure. I hate when I accidentally grab names for things that have already been used famously.

Maybe call it Ruby-like, instead of Rubysh. Rubysh can be misread in at least two ways.

Thanks for the tip! Will do :)
