Thrush Programming Language | Syntax

Caution

Most of the syntax in this repository is outdated. A new website with detailed documentation is on the way. Please be patient.

Warning

The compiler updates faster than this repository. The syntax may be outdated and non-idiomatic.

This repository contains detailed and general information about the syntax; it is not documentation as such; it is intended to guide you in developing the compiler and the language.
