The language compiler was written in [Moonscript](http://moonscript.org/), using the [LPEG library](http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/) for parsing. LPEG is a dependency, so you need to install it in order to run the compiler. All of the moon files have been compiled into lua for convenience, so Moonscript is not a dependency. -In order to run a .nom file, run `lua nomic.lua your_file.nom`.

To compile, run `lua nomsub.lua your_file.nom output_file.lua` which produces an output file which can be run with the command `lua output_file.lua`. Example code can be found in the examples folder. |
