Build (still) in Public​

I recently published the article NeoBASIC Language 🔰 Transpiler to C++ to publicize the project for this language I'm creating. Since then, I've been working on a tour (overview) on the website to describe the language, and also programming the compiler. There are other areas of work, but I thought it would be best to focus on these two tasks to at least introduce the language.

NeoBASIC is a programming language I'm creating, still in the design phase, aiming to provide a better development experience while transpiling code into a compiled (and general-purpose) language. It's somewhat of an elastic language, combining the best of both worlds: Python (prototyping speed) and C++ (execution speed). The mention of BASIC is due to its faster learning curve, an effort I've been making to ensure the language can be used by computer science beginners.
