Margaret is a modern programming language focused around objects and messages. It offers powerful literals, easy to use objects and smalltalk-like message structures.
- Every value in margaret is a pure object.
- There are no reserved words and no explicit syntax apart from message sending.
- Uses prototypal inheritance similar to Self or Javascript.
- Uses C-style literals like int, float, string.
- Implements tensors, tuples, tables, and bitstrings as modern built-in data structures.
- Runs on a portable, lightweight, embeddable, register based VM.
TODO - Write installation instructions
