PYSM 🚀
Python-Powered Assembly-Style Language
PYSM is a lightweight, procedural, assembly-themed scripting language built in roughly 200 lines of Python. It combines the low-level feel of assembly (opcodes, labels, jumps) with high-level features like file I/O and strict string piping.
✨ Features
- Procedural Logic: Full support for subroutines using
CAL and RET.
- File System: Open, read, write, and append to files with 3-letter opcodes.
- VS Code Ready: Custom syntax highlighting included for a professional dev experience.
- Lightweight: The entire interpreter is a single, readable Python file.
- Labels: Labels so that your programs functionality is not determined by your ability to count from 0
