# minilang

Inspired by [BASICO](http://www.andreadrian.de/tbng/index.html), minilang is a

little programming language. My intention was to keep the implementation brief,

yet readable. It is bootstrapped, thus proving to be reasonably expressive. The

compiler outputs x86-64 ASM code.  Similar to Python, code blocks are formed

via indentation. There is no type checking whatsoever, so be careful.  Please,

look into `minilang.mini` and you will quickly get the idea.  Obligatorily,

here is your first programme:

	main():puts("Hello, world!")

Compile the throwaway compiler:

	$ c99 minilang.c -o minilang

Bootstrap thus:

	$ ./minilang minilang.mini minilang.s       # compile with throwaway compiler

	$ gcc minilang.s -o minilang_jr             # GCC assembles the executable

	$ ./minilang_jr minilang.mini minilang_jr.s # compile with bootstrapped compiler

	$ diff minilang.s minilang_jr.s             # compare output -> equal
