The AUBIElang Programming Language

The AUBIElang Programming Language is a strongly typed, intepreted programming language that runs through the JVM via a Java interpreter. It is designed to be a verbose language based around built-in keywords, while also ignoring whitespace as a formatting/parsing technique. Scripts written in this language are saved with the .aub extension.

The language and interpreter were written as an entry to the 2020 AUHackathon in Auburn, AL, with development lasting over February 8th-9th. It has support for 8 built-in math functions, console output, if-statement branching, for loops, user-defined variables, and user-defined functions. AUBIElang supports only 2 types: num (a double), and string.

How to Use:

1. Clone/download the repository with everything in it to your machine
2. Use javac to compile AubieLang.java, which should, in turn, compile all of the other necessary classes. (compiling to a jar file should work too, but hasn't been tested)
3. Run the compiled AubieLang file with the name of a ".aub" script in the same directory, and it will interpret the script.

$ git clone https://github.com/Gman0064/aubielang.git
$ javac AubieLang.java
$ java AubieLang myscript.aub
