The Groot Programming Language

Groot is an esoteric programming language, which uses the language of an extraterrestrial plant from Planet X called Groot as its syntax.

There are eight commands like Brainfuck:

phrase	meaning
`i am groot`	increment the byte at the data pointer.
`I am Groot`	decrement the byte at the data pointer.
`I AM GROOOT`	output the byte at the data pointer.
`I AM GROOT`	increment the data pointer.
`I am groot`	decrement the data pointer.
`I am grooot`	accept one byte of input.
`I'm Groot`	if the byte at the data pointer is zero, then instead of moving the instruction pointer forward to the next command, jump it forward to the command after the matching `We are Groot` command.
`We are Groot`	if the byte at the data pointer is nonzero, then instead of moving the instruction pointer forward to the next command, jump it back to the command after the matching `I'm Groot` command.

To build, run:

$ cargo build

To run:

$ cargo run helloworld.groot

The Rust version used to build this: rustc 1.0.0-nightly (dfc5c0f1e 2015-02-18) (built 2015-02-19)

It will probably work with any nightly build.
