Using Samarium

You can run Samarium programs with samarium program.sm. samarium-debug may be used instead, which will first print out the intermediary Python code that the Samarium program is transpiled into, before executing it.

The -c <command> option can be used to execute Samarium code from the string command, directly in the terminal. command can be one or more statements separated by semicolons as usual. Note that the last statement of command will be printed if it does not end in a semicolon.

There is also a VSCode syntax highlighting extension for Samarium, which can be found here here. The source code can be found here.
