A basic language that compiles to ARM assembly so I can write less assembly!
Python 3.6 or greater must be installed to use this application. The code may rely on C++20 features, I haven't checked. You will need at least a C++17 capable compiler.
Without ARMSim there would have been no way to run the generated assembly program. To the people that worked on that, thank you
if- Execute the inner code if the condition is truewhile- Run the inner code until the condition is falsefunc- Create a new function with optional argumentsreturn- Optionally return a value from a function, or exit the function earlyasm- Insert raw assembly. Variables wrapped in${}are converted to the register they representend- Ends a block statement (if,while,func,asm)let- Create a new variablelabel- Insert a label at this positiongoto- Jump to a given labelprint- Print the given stringprintln- Print the given string, with a newline inserted at the end (for convenience)exit- Exit the program, with an optional return value<variable name here>- Modify a variable<function name here>- Execute a function that has been defined. Anything returned is stored in the special_variable

This example code:
let x = 12
let y = x
x = y + 8
y = x * x
func important_check in
if in == 20
println "x is currently 20!"
end
end
important_check x
while y > x
x += 100
println "BUNP"
end
println "that's all folks!"
exit xTurns into this ARM assembly code:
