Blurt

A tiny, WIP programming language written in rust that contains a lexer, parser and interpreter. So far can only print, create variables and comment.

let animal = "frog"; let legs = 4;

Printing

blurt "The {animal} has {legs} legs";

Prints: "The frog has 4 legs"

Running it

Put your code in a file like hello.blurt, then:

cargo run -- hello.blurt

How it works

• Every statement ends with ;
• blurt "text";` prints text
• let name = "text"; or let name = 5; stores a value
• {name} inside a blurt string fills in the variable
• "#" starts a comment that lasts until the end of the line

What's missing

• Math
• Error messages with line numbers
• Quotes inside strings
• "if" and loops

Code layout

lexer.rs splits text into tokens, parser.rs turns them into statements, and interpreter.rs runs them.
