Purpose

"JavaScript was written in ten days, I'll write sNEK in two."

I wrote sNEK in a matter of around twelve hours to see how much complexity/features I can put into a language in short a short amount of time.

Seeing that my biggest obstacles in my past PL projects was grammar, I decided that the quickest was to overcome it was by implmenting S-expressions. The rest of the lanuage kind of just popped in after that.

Features

"I just gotta finish this so it looks I actually did something for SD Hacks"

sNEK combines allows for both imperative and functional programming.

In sNEK, one can declare a a variable scope with multiple variables and multiple statements to execute within that scope. The same goes for while-loops which can also house a sequential list of statements.

A major feature of sNEK is its static-type checking as all variables and functions must list their respective types.
