# Installation
As you have read these words, you are to install *HALK*.
```
$ sudo make install
```
If you wish to remove all *HALK*-related items from your life, you can try
```
$ sudo make uninstall
```
# Usage
One must simply
```
$ halk examples/simple.halk
```
. Running *HALK* with no arguments allows one to lex(?) arbitrary text through stdin.
An example session is displayed below:
```text
$ halk
:str:var = "Hello, World";
[==] HLKT: test passed: src/main.c/main/18
[==] source gotten
[==] source: :str:var = "Hello, World";
[==] HLKT: test passed: src/main.c/main/24
[==] preprocessor created
[==] pre-processed source: :str:var="Hello, World";
[==] HLKT: test passed: src/main.c/main/34
[==] preprocessor ran
[==] HLKT: test passed: src/main.c/main/39
[==] HLKT: test passed: src/main.c/main/40
[==] lexer created
[==] token/t=9 /v=str
[==] token/t=9 /v=var
[==] token/t=4 /v==
[==] token/t=2 /v=Hello, World
[==] token/t=3 /v=;
[==] lexer ran
[==] HLKT: all 5 tests passed
```
# Syntax
*HALK* is a **dubiously-typed**, **vaguely-functional**, **interpreted** programming language, with syntax designed to be as
**minimal** and **consistent** as possible.
Note that all syntax described is liable to sudden and violent change.
Example programs can be found [here](../tree/examples).
