This programming language is a bit of a wild ride - it's got some interesting quirks that make it unsuitable for serious projects. While the code is surprisingly readable, there's zero documentation and some surprising security gaps.
For example:
- Spiral into infinite loops if input parsing isn't just right
- Crash spectacularly with stack overflows
- Hide other mysterious behaviors that keep you guessing!
You can see examples of code in the example folder.
But here's the thing: despite all its rough edges, working with it has been an absolute blast. There's something genuinely fun about:
- Reverse-engineering how it works from the examples
- Discovering its eccentric personality through trial and error
- The thrill when something actually works as expected!
