<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Fiddle is a small programming language inspired by various languages, designed to help learn language implementation concepts in Rust.</p>
<p>fddl is a small programming language inspired by various languages, designed to help learn language implementation concepts in <a href="https://rust-lang.org">Rust</a>.</p>
<p>I have, off and on throughout the last 15 or so years attempted to learn a programming language of some sort. I could always get through the basics, but would get stuck with any real-world projects. And I wouldn't know who to turn to even if I knew where to start.</p>
<p>So I started learning Rust and really like it. I've been following some tutorials and the <a href="http://craftinginterpreters.com/">Crafting Interpreters</a> site as guides for this very problematic programming language.</p>
<p>I like aspects of so many programming languages, but I don't really like any of them, so I always found it hard to pick one and stick with it. But I had the same problem playing World of Warcraft, too.</p>
<p>So I, like many of you, decided to make a hobby programming language to see what may be able to be done with it.</p>
<br />
<p>The fact that I have a REPL working in this language is nothing short of amazing to me. It's fucking magic.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Custom syntax with unique operators and keywords</li>
<li>Custom syntax with unique (and possibly deranged) operators and keywords</li>
<li>Documentation comments using <code>#</code>, similar to Rust's style</li>
<li>Lexer and parser built from scratch in Rust</li>
</ul>

<h2>Getting Started</h2>
<p>To run the REPL:</p>
<pre><code>cargo run</code></pre>
<p>To run a fiddle script:</p>
<p>To run a fddl script:</p>
<pre><code>cargo run path/to/script.fddl</code></pre>

<h2>Notes and Next Steps</h2>

<h2>Running the Project</h2>
<p>Make sure your project compiles and the tests pass:</p>
<pre><code>cargo build
<pre><code>
cargo build
cargo test
</code></pre>
</code></pre>
<p>Although there's not much there right now. But the REPL works!</p>
