# Spider Programming Language
Spider is a lightweight scripting language designed to be simple to build,
easy to embed, and straightforward to learn.
## Why Spider?
Most modern scripting languages have become increasingly complex over time.
Spider was created to solve three main problems:
- **Hard to embed:** Languages like Lua have verbose APIs and JavaScript
interpreters are massive projects that take hours to compile.
- **Poor interoperability:** Python and Lua make it complicated to communicate
between the script and the host application.
- **Outdated syntax:** Spider aims for a clean, modern syntax without
requiring keywords like `end` or relying on indentation for structure.
## How it works
Spider compiles down to bytecode that runs on the Spider Virtual Machine (VM).
The VM is written in C and can be compiled with a single Makefile, making it
easy to port to any platform, including microcontrollers like the ATmega328p.
## Current Status
Currently in early development. The VM architecture, instruction set,

register table, and calling convention have been defined and are being tested.
