# JAPL - Just Another Programming Language
JAPL is an interpreted, dynamically-typed, garbage-collected and minimalistic programming language with C- and Java-like syntax.

# J.. what?
You may wonder what's the meaning of JAPL: well, it turns out to be an acronym
for __Just Another Programming Language__, but beware! Despite the name, the pronounciation is actually the same as "JPL".

Right now there are some major issues with the virtual machine which need to be addressed
before the development can proceed, and some help is ~~desperately needed~~ greatly appreciated!

JAPL is born thanks to the amazing work of Bob Nystrom that wrote a book available completely for free
at [this](https://craftinginterpreters.com) link, where he describes the implementation of a simple language called Lox.
