Introduction

Brief Intro

Simplex is a Lisp-based programming language (lisp-diaclet or lisp-variant), built for experimentation and educational purposes as a side project, it was meant to be different from the mainstream languages with some amazing features borrowed from many languages.<br/>

The motivation behind it was to push my limits in programming and in C especially, also as a part of my learning process to explore computer science and as a personal challenge.

More detailed documentation and tutorials is being added.
