Entire codebase is implemented in .NET 6 (+ .NET Standard 2.1)

<h3 align="center">:dart: Key features</h3>

• Expressiveness

  Maintaining the "perfect balance" (© Thanos) between usage of expressive symbols and readable names. <br> Support for language-oriented programming (LOP) and macros system allows you to:

  • Add new language syntax of almost any complexity
  • Implement common design patterns quickly and simply

• Inter-transpiling to other popular languages

  At the moment Axon targets C# and Python code output. More languages are planned!

• Static typing with less annotations

  Support for full type soundness and type inferring (in design).

• High-performance

  Compile-time computations, macros expansion, and transpiling to fastest target language's code.

<h3 align="center">:chart: Progress</h3>

• Lexical analyzer
• Syntax parser
• Interpreter (based on C# transpiling)
• Console code editor with syntax highlighting & error reporting
• C#, Python transpilers

<h3 align="center">:rocket: Launching</h3>

You can launch compiler with dotnet run in Axion.csproj folder and type -h in console to get support about arguments for compiler interface.

At the moment toolset supports interpretation of the Axion source with -i CLI argument (through console code editor) and file processing with -f "<path>.ax" -m <output lang> arguments.

Interpretation is performed by transpiling Axion to C# and running it through Roslyn (still incomplete and doesn't support some syntax).
