World's first uwu-oriented language.

Saw a tweet from Uwy and thought it'd be a tasty little meme morsel to actually build with a tokenizer I have lying around. It's basically Brainfuck but with a special token for single-line comments. If you're looking for the plain old Brainfuck interpreter I wrote in C#, it's called ByteRibbon.

Here's a hello world program in UwuScript:

uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu ow< >w> uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu >w> *w* Comment!
uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu >w> uwu uwu uwu >w> uwu <w< <w< <w< <w< 
nwn >wo >w> uwu uwu owo >w> uwu owo uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu owo owo uwu uwu 
uwu owo >w> uwu uwu owo <w< <w< uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu uwu 
uwu uwu uwu owo >w> owo uwu uwu uwu owo nwn nwn nwn nwn nwn nwn owo nwn nwn nwn 
nwn nwn nwn nwn nwn owo >w> uwu owo >w> owo *w* Hello world!

The following table is straight from Wikipedia's table of Brainfuck commands, but modified to show each command's UwuScript equivalent:

You're essentially manipulating a Turing machine to produce output. Anything written in Brainfuck is obviously trivial to port over.

Compile the project in Visual Studio, run it like this:

UwuScript.exe "examples/hello.uwu"

Largely untested and very unoptimized, the Turing machine underlying the language is a very hasty port from the PHP version in my ancient Brainfony repository. It's gonna be buggy and slow.

Also, random inline text will break the tokenizer, that's why the single-line comment token was added. It's easy to change this so you can stick non-instructions wherever you like (like I believe Urban Muller's original Brainfuck implementation does) by changing the regular expressions that the tokenizer is initialized with.

If you find a bug and would really like to contribute for whatever reason, feel free to fork and submit a pull request.
