What the heck is hyperlisp?

It's a markup language designed for the web
It transpiles directly into html
It's written in Rust therefore it can transpile quickly
It's inspired by Lisp and isn't too verbose
It's free to use for any purpose you wish
Feel free to modify and play around with how it's made
- It's only 145 lines of code (excluding comments and blank lines)
- The code is well commented

You can run the following commands on linux to get it up and running

git clone https://github.com/curlpipe/hyperlisp.git
cd hyperlisp
cargo build --release
sudo cp target/release/hyperlisp /usr/bin/

Or you can use the prebuilt binaries provided in the releases section and move it to /usr/bin/

After installation, you'll be able to convert hyperlisp files into html
