Margaret is a modern programming language focused around objects and messages. It offers powerful literals, easy to use objects and smalltalk-like message structures.
- Every value in margaret is treated as an object.
- There are no reserved words and no explicit syntax apart from message sends.
- Uses prototype based objects in the likes of Self or Javascript.
- Uses C-style literals like int, float, string.
- Implements tensors, hashes, tuples as modern built-in data structures.
- Runs on a portable, lightweight and embeddable stack based VM.
