The CxL Programming Language

CxL is a general-purpose programming language for UNIX systems and is based on C++. It is more beginner-friendly and makes compiled languages less daunting. It focuses on being compact, fast, and straightforward. It aims to be the "go-to" language that people use when they want to write a program.

Setting up
