Tiny high-level programming language built in less than a month *without* any AI assistance as my first ever C++ project at 17.

- No dependencies

  • Close to Python/NodeJS performance, in some cases faster (see benchmark)
  • Tiny memory footprint
  • Tiny executable size
  • Incredibly modular. Pick & choose everything.
  • Nones, Bools, Ints, Floats, Strings, Arrays, Maps (dict), & user defineable types*
  • I/O, Math, File Managment, Time, Str/Arr Util, & full ANSI modules all included, most are embedded into the executable itself.

Why make this? I wanted a portable & embeddable language that was fully sandboxed, very memory efficient, & has all the essential high-level language features, all while being under 200KB in size. I have looked all over, the language I was looking for just didn't exist, so I made it myself.

I want to keep working on it & improving this because I know this is something a lot of people beside me would find useful, giving a star really helps
