MHP — Marshmallow Hypertext Preprocessor 🍡

A programming language with no magic — just logic.
Sweet like PHP, sharp like Rust, readable like Python, powerful like C.

💡 What is MHP?

MHP (Marshmallow Hypertext Preprocessor) is a modern programming language designed from scratch to be:

• Minimal but expressive
• Type-safe but flexible
• Compiled (via LLVM)
• Extensible, embeddable, and developer-friendly

Originally inspired as a sweeter alternative to PHP for server-side development, MHP evolved into a full general-purpose language — suitable for web, backend, CLI, and even system-level programming.

You can write:

• Dynamic web apps (Campfire)
• UI frameworks (SUIT)
• Game logic, physics, and even editors (like Mim — MHP's Vim clone)

🧠 Philosophy

🔒 Everything is a container.
🧩 Functions are executable containers.
🚫 No classes. No OOP bloat.
📜 Syntax is readable, logic is predictable.
🧃 Code should taste good.

MHP is built around clarity and trust: you see what you get. No hidden behavior, no "it depends" operators, and no undefined weirdness like null == false.

✨ Killer Features

✅ Clean syntax:

mut a = 5;
if a < 10 {
    print "Sweet!";
}
