# 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
```
. Simply running *HALK* with no arguments allows one to send arbitrary text.
An example session is displayed below:
```
$ halk
> :str:var = 'Hello, World.';
> ^D
[==] lexer created
[==] BEGIN INPUT
:str:var = 'Hello, World.';
[==] END INPUT
[==] token type: [TOKEN_DEF_TAG] token value: [str]
[==] token type: [TOKEN_DEF_TAG] token value: [var]
[==] token type: [TOKEN_DEF_SET] token value: [=]
[==] token type: [TOKEN_PRIM_STR] token value: [Hello, World.]
[==] token type: [TOKEN_EXPR_END] token value: [;]
[==] token type: [TOKEN_EOF] token value: []
[==] source file closed
```
# 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).
