zai-pl 0.8.0

A small programming language written for learning purposes.

Zai

Zai is a small programming language which I wrote for fun. The language:

• Is Dynamically typed
• Is Entirely written in Python
• Supports classes
• Supports first-class functions
• Supports writing and importing modules

NOTE: This is a project made for both learning and fun. It is not meant to be used in serious projects.
