SMRTR summary

This repository showcases micro-implementations of fundamental historical programming languages in Python. Each implementation is kept under 50 lines of code, using only the standard library. The project includes simplified versions of Assembly, BASIC, Lisp 1.5, APL, MOUSE, PL/0, and TCL. It aims to serve as a starting point for those interested in implementing their own programming languages or learning about programming history. The code is open-source under the MIT license, and contributions are welcome.
