plaintext - A Minimalistic and Humorous Programming Language

plaintext is a minimalistic and humorous programming language designed to do nothing more than output the contents of a .txt file. If you're looking for a programming language that takes simplicity to the extreme, you've come to the right place!

Features

  • Just one command: cat
  • Supports .txt files as the primary (and only) source file format
  • Lightweight and easy to use
  • Perfect for beginners, trolls, and everyone in between!

Installation

Ubuntu

  1. Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

    git clone https://github.com/Kokecoco/plaintext.git
cd plaintext

  2. Run the installation script:

    sudo ./scripts/install.sh

Usage

To run a cat program, simply pass a .txt file as an argument:

cat my_program.txt

Example:

cat examples/hello_world.txt

This will output the contents of the hello_world.txt file.

Example Code

Hello World

Create a file called hello_world.txt with the following content:

Hello, World!

Then, run it using cat:

cat hello_world.txt

Standard Library

plaintext comes with a minimal standard library (stdlib.txt) that provides some simple functionality. However, keep in mind that this is a humorous and minimalist language, so don't expect too much!
