A compiler project written in c, the language is called np (not pascal), its supposed to be similar to c in terms of machine distance. However, it should provide features that make programming easier. You can find multiple examples of code under ./programs

- Recommended way to contribute is via vscode in Windows with wsl or simply in Linux. If you want to use another IDE do so as you wish though. The advantage of using vscode is that there is a proper workflow setup already.
- The settings for formatting and the extensions are in the /.vscode directory, you can see the recommended extensions in the extensions tab.
- Fork and make a pull request
