Some may think, "why another programming language", and honestly, my answer is "Why not?". I decided to make Heplang for no other reason than that it would be a fun project to work on. I wanted something challenging, and something to improve my experience in a language where I was under-confident, so I chose to make a language, in Python.
HepLang currently only has an IDLE Shell. In this shell you can execute commands, then run the build(); command to compile it into a Python binary. The project is a small hobby-project of mine bred from boredom and made for fun.
- Currently HepLang has no installation instructions and is meant to be ran in the home directory it was installed in, this is to be changed.
git clone https://github.com/httpllamaz/heplang
cd heplang/
python3 heplang.py- Currently, the build.egg serves no purpose other than if you wish to change your default binary name from
mainto something else. In the future it should be utilised as build instructions where bits of code can go to certain files.

- Print with fstrings
- If statements
- Else if
- User input
- Ability to read and compile .hep files
- Functions
