Sphere is a minimalistic language designed for both software and Operating System Development.
The language syntax is designed to balance readability and writability by minimizing the amount of characters required to write while maintaining the self-explanatory nature of the code and namings.
This language uses Freestanding-compatible C/C++ code to minimize the amount of refactoring reuqired to get Sphere-written projects to run on both with and without an environment.
