Folders

A language where the code is written with folders. Perhaps the most Windows of languages.

Tools

Since writing constants in Folders is a challenge (especially strings), the Folders Tools converts any literal into a set of folders:

Usage: FoldersTools LiteralBuilder type value [add_gitignore]

type = char, int, float, string

value = the value to convert

[add_gitignore] (optional) allows for adding .gitignores to all terminal folders (necessary to check in Folders programs)

Compiling

The Folders project itself is the compiler. Run it, providing the path to your Folders programs

Args:

/s to transpile to C#

how to run and were to put?

i downloaded and there was no desc. on how to run/ where to put the files.

example program lacks bang

the example program lacks the ! in Hello World!

Also, this looks more like a mac OS program to me. Will it cross compile?

99 bottles program final folder doesn't seem to make sense

Hey there, cool esolang! I'm actually trying to write a python interpreter for it for fun 😄

Anyways, and this may be something I'm not understanding, but in your example 99 bottles program the final command folder is New Folder (4) which has the following structure (limited to depth 3):

New folder (4)
     └── New folder (2)
                     └── New Folder
                     └── New Folder (2)
                     └── New Folder (3)

Doesn't every command folder need at least two subfolders?
Also, assuming New folder (2) is an expression folder (because if we interpret it as such we get a LITERAL :: STRING :: 2 bottles of beer on the wall...) then I'm assuming you'd want New Folder (4) to have a PRINT statement?

For example I would have assumed the following structure:

New folder (4)
     └── New folder (1)
                     └── [ 4 subfolders to make it a PRINT statement ]
     └── New folder (2)
                     └── New Folder
                     └── New Folder (2)
                     └── New Folder (3)

Asking so I can make my interpreter spec-compliant lol

Dir order wrong in Parallels

Running in Parallels, with the directories in the Mac volume, the directories are sometimes read in the wrong order (not alphabetical). An explicit sort by name should fix this.
