A Language for Systems Programming

NOTE: This language is mainly an educational project for me to learn compiler construction. Do not expect anything resembling a final product, and do not expect there to be a final product at any point in the future.

A lightspeed demo of some of the features of a programming language I've been working on. Silly me neglected to mention possibly my favorite feature of the language: order-independent declarations. No more header files and forward declarations, the compiler figures all that out for you.
