PolarFrankie

PolarFrankie, a command line scripting metaprogramming language in the planning!

Note

You can check the docs over here!

The transpiler is only supposed to handle basic operations and concepts (like assignment, functions, etc.), and the rest of the language components should be defined from within the .frankie library files!

• Define basic ANTLR4 Lexer and Parser files
