#8ZLANG

Website: zlang.nikhilpujari.in

EVER WONDERED WHAT CODING WOULD LOOK LIKE IF GEN Z DESIGNED IT?

• bruh "Hello World" instead of print("Hello World")
• bet name = "Alex" instead of let name = "Alex"
• sus (age > 18) instead of if (age > 18)
• lowkey sus for else-if and no sus for else
• flex for functions and vibe for return
• slay for break and no chill for continue

HOW I BUILT IT:

• 🧩 Lexer: Recognizes slang like "bet", "bruh", "sus" as valid commands
• 📚 Parser: Understands how the slang fits together (grammar rules)
