    Thanks for sharing. I had a good laugh looking through your source and seeing that "kys" killed the interpreter. I threw together a trivial fizzbuzz in it for fun.

      n = 1
      goto main
      #fizzbuzz
      if n % 3 == 0 && n % 5 == 0
          print "fizzbuzz"
          goto increment
      if n % 3 == 0
          print "fizz"
          goto increment
      if n % 5 == 0
        print "buzz"
        goto increment
      print n
      #increment
      n = n + 1
      #main
      if n <= 100
          goto fizzbuzz
      kys

    Nice to play around with it. Don't sell yourself short. It ain't easy to write a language, but you did.

    I give it 2 years tops before this ends up in production somewhere.

    This is fun, thanks for sharing! I'm currently developing a much worse language and I've spent quite a few hours on it. I think that the space of simple languages is very enlightening to explore. If nothing else, returning to a full-featured language after spending days programming in something horrid is a breath of fresh air.

    Did you just machine translate everything on the page or does Turkish syntax work too?
