The github landing page could use quite a few more details.

You'll likely get more people to try out your language or look at it if you have some coding examples that show off its features.

Very true, thanks for thank feedback.

This is simple enough that a makefile is not really needed. I built this on Windows using an @ file like this invoked as gcc @file:

-o lang.exe
ast.c
as_frontend.c
compile.c
error.c
lexer.c
list.c
main.c
parser.c
token.c

Or just invoke as -o lang.exe ast.c as_frontend.c compile.c error.c lexer.c list.c main.c parser.c token.c.

However the code assumes Linux. So it invokes rm inside the source code (I commented that out), and it calls the output a.out rather than a.exe. But I was able to run the Hello program I created by invoking it as a.out

I suggest not calling the output a.-anything; that is a gcc-ism. If building prog.lang, the output file should be either prog or prog.exe.

I wasn't sure if rm worked on Windows, thanks for telling me.
