Introduction

"Folders is a language where the program is encoded into a directory structure. All files within are ignored, as are the names of the folders. Commands and expressions are encoded by the pattern of folders within folders. " Folders was created by Daniel Temkin https://danieltemkin.com/Esolangs/Folders/. If you want to learn more about the language, check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igh-vBI2LXc

This is what a "Hello World"-program looks like:

Folders2kt can execute this programs on the JVM or print you Kotlin source code for it.

Run it

To execute a Folders program you need to add the directory path of the program with the "-d" parameter

java -jar Folders2kt-1.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar -d /Users/jklingenberg/Code/2021/Folders2kt/sample_programs/99Bottles

Print Source

To execute a Folders program you need the directory path of the program with the "-d" parameter and the "-source" parameter

java -jar Folders2kt-1.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar -d /Users/jklingenberg/Code/2021/Folders2kt/sample_programs/99Bottles -source
