LK (Language Kit) is a simple but powerful scripting language that is designed to be small, fast, and easily embedded in other applications. The core LK engine, including lexical analyzer, parser, compiler, and virtual machine is only dependent on the Standard C++ Library (STL), making it extremely lightweight and portable.
