🐙 Tako Language

Tako is a small, flexible interpreted scripting language made for tiny operating systems, embedded devices, or just having fun.
Created by @minhmc2007, Tako is designed to be minimal, hackable, and educational — written entirely in C with no dependencies (expect compiler).

✨ Features

• 🧠 C-style scripting: set x = 10, add x 5, if x > 10
• 📜 Human-readable syntax, easy to learn and write
• 🔁 Supports control flow: if, loop, end
• 🖨️ Powerful print system: strings, variables, combined
• ⚙️ Self-contained interpreter: tako.c
• ⚠️ (Optional) Barebones compiler (compiler.c) for ELF output — limited feature support

🔧 Syntax Example

# Set a variable
set x = 10

# Add to it
add x 5

# Conditional
if x > 10
  print "x is bigger than 10" x
end

# Looping
loop 3
  print "Looping..." x
  add x 1
end

# Final output
print "Final x:" x

🚀 Usage

🧠 Run Scripts (Recommended)

Compile and run using the interpreter:

gcc tako.c -o tako ./tako script.tako

🛠️ Compile to Native ELF Binary (⚠️ Experimental)

❗ The compiler (compiler.c) only supports very basic scripts. For real projects, use tako.c.

gcc compiler.c -o compiler ./compiler script.tako output_binary chmod +x output_binary ./output_binary

🐙 Why “Tako”?

“Tako” (たこ) means octopus in Japanese — small, smart, and flexible. Just like this language: lightweight, expandable, and surprisingly useful 🐙.
