**EXPERIMENTS GOING ON**

(TODO: Improve README)

Funlang (name probably will change)
===============================================================================
Funlang is a programming language inspired from Go's syntax. Even its syntax is
more simpler than Go's syntax. The main focus of this project is not to create
another language but to learn how modern compilers use SSA form internally to
optimize code. The funlang compiler as of now does not target any hardware or
any interpreter. It will just compile the AST to SSA form and will **try** to
simplify it as much as possible.

Building
===============================================================================
This project requires latest Go compiler (>1.13) with modules support.

    go build

Trying the compiler
===============================================================================
As of now, compiler is lot verbose and will print lot of noise.

    ./funlang -input example.fun
