Budgie is still under development. Don't expect everything to work!
Budgie can be used as a command-line app or via import/require.
To convert file.bg to file.py:
npm install budgie-cli --global
budgie --language Python file.bgSee budgie-cli.
npm install budgie
import { Budgie } from "budgie";
const budgie = new Budgie("C#");
// System.Console.WriteLine("Hello world!");
budgie.convert([`print : ("Hello world!")`]);No reason in particular!
Budgie is not intended to be a useful language or targeted to any real purpose. It's a proof-of-concept exploration for the fun of it.
