About:
S-Lang is a multi-platform library designed for creating robust software across different operating systems. It provides a powerful stack-based interpreter and a comprehensive set of intrinsic functions for I/O, data structures, and system interaction. Its core value lies in enabling developers to embed a scripting language into C/C++ applications or build standalone tools with rich user interfaces.

Key Features:

Cross-platform C library for easy integration
Embedded stack-based interpreter for scripting
Rich set of intrinsic functions for I/O and data structures
Support for line editing and history (SLang Readline)
Extensible via custom modules and C bindings

Use Cases:

Embedding a scripting language into C/C++ applications
Building cross-platform command-line tools
Developing interactive text-based user interfaces
Rapid prototyping of system utilities

Alternatives:

Lua – Lua is a more lightweight, embeddable scripting language, whereas S-Lang provides a larger standard library out-of-the-box.
GNU Readline – S-Lang includes its own line editing library (SLang Readline) which can be used as an alternative to GNU Readline.
