# Quark

Quark is a general-purpose compiled programming language intended for use in a
wide range of environments, from kernels to games to embedded systems. Its syntax
and concepts are most similar to C or C++, but Quark also attempts to be more consistent
and easier to comprehend.

# Why Make Another Language?

There are many languages out there that can be used to write great software. Languages like C or
C++ have similar feature sets and work just fine, so why not just use an existing language?
Those languages can be difficult to learn and are usually paired with large standard libraries
using outdated concepts. Quark is OSMORA's attempt to redefine what low-level programming languages should be.
