Frequently Asked Questions 🐱


Q: "What is an esoteric programming language? Is this language intended for real use?"

A: An esoteric programming language is a programming language created for artistic purposes and/or otherwise not intended for real use in productation. Esoteric programming languages are typically not designed with usability in mind. Mewlix is one such case: It's an odd language themed around cats. _(:3」∠)_

You can use Mewlix for hobby projects, however. Mewlix is designed primarily for making small games, and it tries to do a well-enough job at just that.


Q: "Can I use Mewlix for my own project?"

A: Absolutely! I'd be flattered if you did. Please let me know if you do, I'd genuinely love to see it!


Q: "I'm having issues running my Mewlix project locally using the file:/// scheme!"

A: This is for security reasons. Most modern browsers heavily limit what you can do using the file:/// scheme. If you want to run a project locally, use the mewlix run command; this will run your project in a simple HTTP server. You can read the documentation for Mewlix's command-line interface to learn more.
