Welcome to the Lamentable documentations!

⭐ Please consider starring the Lamentable repository on GitHub!

Why Lamentable?

  • Blazing fast!
    Written in Rust, Lamentable runs like hell — fast startup, fast interpretation, zero bloat.
  • Beginner friendly
    No weird syntax, no hidden traps — just clean, readable code. If you've touched Python, you’re already halfway there.
  • Made to get shit done.
    Lamentable is for builders, not theorists. Prototype fast, iterate faster, and ship without friction.
  • Minimalistic
    Simple semantics, sane defaults, and tools that stay out of your way.

Setup

  1. Download release packages from the GitHub repository,
  2. Create a file with any name, with the extension .lm,
  3. Run the .lm file with the downloaded executable!
  4. Enjoy Lamenting!
