# Niko

Niko is a stack-oriented concatenative vector programming language. 

## Building and Running

Only Linux is supported.

- `apt install just re2c valgrind ninja-build libjemalloc-dev`

- `just release`

- `bin/niko`

## Language Overview

### Forth Comparison

Niko is very similar to Forth: 

stack manipulation core eval loop, 

dictionary structure and many 

syntax elements come from it. 

Niko differences from Forth are:

- all values are vectors

- words are represented as vectors too (lisp like)

- Niko doesn't try to self-host

- low-level concepts such as return stack are not exposed
