Introduction to Flexa

Welcome to the Flexa Programming Language! Flexa is a toy programming language developed for fun. This language is designed with everything I find interesting in other programming languages I know.

What is Flexa?

Flexa is a statically-typed, general-purpose language that emphasizes simplicity, readability, and flexibility. It combines the best features of modern programming languages with a clean and intuitive syntax, making it easy to learn and use.

Key Features

Simple and Clean Syntax: Flexa’s syntax try to be easy to read and write, reducing the cognitive load on developers.
Strong Typing with Type Inference: Flexa ensures type safety while allowing you to omit type declarations when the type can be inferred.
Standard Library: Flexa comes with a small set of built-in libraries for tasks like file handling, networking, data manipulation, and more.
Cross-Platform: Flexa programs can run on multiple platforms (Windows and Linux for now) without modification, thanks to its portable runtime.
Extensible: Flexa allows you to create and use custom libraries, making it highly adaptable to your specific needs.

Getting Started

To start using Flexa, you’ll need to:

Install the Flexa Interpreter: Download and install the Flexa interpreter and runtime from the official repository.
Write Your First Program: Create a .flx file and write your code. Here’s a simple example:
```
println("Hello, Flexa!");
```
Run Your Program: Use the Flexa interpreter to execute your code:
```
./flexa ./hello_world.flx
```
Explore the Documentation: Continue learning about Flexa by reading the Basic Syntax guide.

What’s Next?

Now that you have a basic understanding of Flexa, it’s time to dive deeper into its syntax and features. The next section, Basic Syntax, will introduce you to the fundamental building blocks of Flexa programs.
