Chewa-lang

This is an attempt at creating an esolang that makes use of Chewa keywords. The language will compile down to Javascript (Specifically ES6). The following is an example script of what am aiming for:

gawo zamoyo {
    gulu Nyama {
        ndondomeko yenda() {
            // Yenda...
        }
        
        ndondomeko puma () {
            // Puma...
        }
    }

    gulu Munthu < Nyama {
        ndondomeko yenda () {
            kholo.yenda();	// Panga ndondomeko yoyenda ya nyama
        }
    }

    munthu = Munthu();
    ngati munthu ali Nyama {
        nena 'Munthu ndi nyama';
    } kapena {
        nena 'Munthu si nyama';
    }
}

Setup

• You need bison, flex, GNU Make, and obviously a C compiler. Source this in whatever way is available on your operating system. In the case of mine (which is debian), simply do the following:

$ apt-get install build-essential flex bison

• To compile the damn thing, just run make like so:

$ make
