Mint is a weird (in a good way!) mid-level programming language that I'm developing as a hobby project. It's designed to look feel and behave like a high-level language while giving you the power to go as low-level as you want. The syntax is clean and easy to type, but don't let that fool you - underneath that approachable exterior lies a powerful beast.
The philosophy is simple: Start writing code that feels comfortable and familiar, then dial in the performance by going deeper when you need to. Yes, the code might start to look a bit scary when you venture into the low-level features, but that's the beauty of it - you choose your level of engagement.
Want to join the fun? I'd love to have collaborators who are passionate about language design and implementation! Here's how you can help:
- Contribute to the documentation: Help clarify concepts or add examples
- Suggest new features: Have a cool idea? Let me know!
- Implementation help: If you're into compilers, interpreters, or language design
- Testing and feedback: Try out Mint and let me know what works and what doesn't

Because programming should be both powerful and enjoyable.
