samarium's Introduction

Samarium

Samarium is a dynamic interpreted language transpiled to Python. Samarium, in its most basic form, doesn't use any digits or letters.

Here's a Hello, World! program written in Samarium:

"Hello, World!"!;

Documentation on how to program in Samarium can be found here.

Installation

pip

pip install samarium

Using Samarium

You can run Samarium programs with samarium program.sm. samarium-debug may be used instead, which will first print out the intermediary Python code that the Samarium program is transpiled into, before executing it.

Short	Long	Description
`-c <cmd>`	`--command <cmd>`	Can be used to execute Samarium code from the string `cmd`, directly in the terminal. `cmd` can be one or more statements separated by semicolons as usual. Note that the last statement of `cmd` will be printed if it does not end in a semicolon.
`-h`	`--help`	Shows the help message
`-v`	`--version`	Prints Samarium version

There is also a VSCode syntax highlighting extension for Samarium, which can be found here. The source code can be found here.
