# Overview Noja is a high level programming language implemented as a learning exercise. Still, it aims to be a non-trivial example of how a language may be built. The use-cases of Noja are the same as Python since their abstraction level is comparable. The syntax is more similar to the C-family of languages though (curly brackets to denote scope). ## A Noja program A Noja program is a sequence of statements separated by semi-colons (with some exceptions). The statements can be o various kinds: * expressions * function definitions * if-else branches * while loops * do-while loops * compound statements * `break` jumps * `return` statements (You may note that there is no import statement! This is because the ability to import other files is exposed through a built-in function.) If not in string literals, whitespace doesn't matter. Comments starts with `#` and end with the line.
