# Motion ↗️:

Motion is a dynamically typed general purpose programming language designed to help developers write fast, clean, and efficient code for a modern world.

Motion is created in pure ANSI C, with no dependancies.

Motion is a variation of the Lox language found at www.craftinginterpreters.com and is licensed under GNU GPL v3.0.

## Syntax

Motion's syntax aspires to be fresh, readable, and clean.

```python

## Comments are cool.

var x; ## Declared variables are set to nil.

var y => 10; var z => 2;

## ^^^^ Multiline statements with ";"

print x * y;

func add(a, b) => {

	var new => (a + b);

	print new;

	return new;

}

```

For more examples, see [examples](/example)

## Why Motion?

* ###  :rocket: Motion is Speedy.

	- On benchmarks, Motion is almost twice as fast as a similar python program!

* ### :bulb: Motion is Simple.

	- Motion has a familiar, welcoming syntax. Everything "just works".

* ### :lock: Motion is Safe.

	- A secure bytecode VM and JIT Compiler means safety issues are far and few.

* ### :floppy_disk: Motion is Small.

	- No external dependancies and pure C means Motion is tiny, fitting at 130KB. That's small enough to fit on a floppy disk!
