Contained here are resources for the nand2tetris "Jack" programming language.

For DOOM users, add the following Elisp to your .config file:

;; nand2tetris config for jack
(use-package! jack-mode
  :init
  (setq jack-tools-directory (concat nand2tetris-core-base-dir "/tools/"))
  (setq jack-build-directory "~/.emacs.d/.local/straight/jack-mode/libraries")


  )

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.jack\\'" . jack-mode))
