WTF is the A-- programming language?!

Who am I

Hi! I'm Abdoo. An Algerian guy who LOVES programming.

What is this project?!

This project is an idea I had since I was like 12-13 years old. I always thought that a programming language scanned the whole script/code (file) and that for every keyword it found, it did a certain action like if, for... (etc).

But it is not the case, so here is my idea! It will probably be very very slow because it uses Python and the way the language works is pretty slow.

Btw, there is a file extension .amm and it is the same as a file extensiont that is used for movie storing stuff.

How A-- works?

You could say that A-- works like a normal programming language, it just lacks a BUNCH of features, but it is a programming language for fun, so (: .

How does A-- run?

Unlike other programming languages, that usually use C-lang as a "base" you could say, A-- actually uses Python as a base.

There is a Python script called runner.py, it is the file/script that will run the .amm program.

Get Started

How to run a A-- program

Like I said before, A-- uses Python as a base. So to get started, you should have:

Python downloaded (Python's version must be newer than 3.10).
The runner.py script.
The A-- file (.amm) template of course! You will learn from it the basics of this disaster, or just check the Github Repo.

Learn A--

A-- is designed weirdly (thanks me), the syntax is kinda like Assembly, some Python stuff... Until now, this is how it is.

A-- consists of four important keywords:

log: Prints to the console.
whatif: The equivalent of if for other languages.
orelse: The equivalent of else for other languages.
