This makes it suitable for education purpose.\n- **Use Cases**:\n  While Kin is great for learning the fundamentals, it's suitability for large-scale software development isn't guaranteed.\n\n## What does it look like\n\n- This is implementation of linear search:\n\n  ```Kin\n  reka arr = [45, 56, 334, 78, 34, 78, 23, 90]\n\n  reka i = 0\n\n  reka key = 23\n\n  subiramo_niba(i \u003c KIN_URUTONDE.ingano(arr)) {\n    niba (arr[i] == key) {\n      tangaza_amakuru(\"Key \", key, \" is on \", i + 1, \" position\")\n    }\n\n    i = i + 1\n  }\n  ```\n\n- Hello \\\u003cname\\\u003e !\n  ```Kin\n  reka name = injiza_amakuru(\"Enter your name: \")\n  tangaza_amakuru(\"Hello \", name, \"!\")\n  ```\n- Executing system commands\n  ```Kin\n  sisitemu(\"sudo shutdown now\")\n  ```\n\n## Syntax\n\nThough **Kin** inherited it's syntax and structure from **JavaScript**, they're completely different when it comes to behavior.\nSome notable **Kin**'s syntax rules are:\n\n- Semicolon:\n  - A semicolon is required when you declare a variable but you don't assign a value to it.\n    ```Kin\n     reka x; # This will work\n    ```\n  - A semicolon is required when a function returns but there's not expression to return.\n    ```Kin\n    porogaramu_ntoya main() {\n      tanga; # This will work\n    }\n    ```\n    \u003e In General a semicolon is used to tell Kin that there's an ommited statement.\n- White spaces:\n  - Kin ignores white spaces, that's why multiple lines can be written at the same line ... these codes are equivalens\n    ```Kin\n    reka x = 5\n    reka x=5\n    ```\n\n## Fun fact!\n\n- Multiple statements can be written on the same line.\n\n  ```Kin\n  reka name = injiza_amakuru(\"Enter your name: \") tangaza_amakuru(\"Hello \", name, \"!\")\n  ```\n\n- Nested statements are also supported.\n  ```Kin\n  tangaza_amakuru(\"Hello \", injiza_amakuru(\"Enter your name: \"), \"!\")\n  ```\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe still have a long way to go with Kin, we're calling for your contributions!\nContributions are welcomed, refer to [Contiributing.md](https://github.com/kin-lang/kin/blob/main/contributing.md) for futher info.\n\n## Maintainers\n\nThis language is maintained by [@pacifiquem](https://github.com/pacifiquem).\n\n## License\n\nThis project is under [MIT License](https://github.com/kin-lang/kin/blob/main/LICENSE).\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"right\" style=\"color: gray; font: bold;\"\u003ePACIFIQUE Murangwa - Author\u003c/p\u003e\n","funding_links":["https://github.com/sponsors/pacifiquem"],"categories":["Uncategorized"],"sub_categories":["Uncategorized"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkin-lang%2Fkin","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkin-lang%2Fkin","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkin-lang%2Fkin/lists"}
