Aardvark was born out of the Replit LangJam, a programming competition where each team built a full programming language. The winner recieved $10,000 and a spot as an official language on Replit. It was @PlasDev, @ZPlus4, and I on a team against some of the most experienced coders around. We didn't win, but we started something that would never die. A project that forever strives to make programming easy and powerful, revolutionizing coding the world around. Aardvark has never died, it has always inspired the minds of programmers around the world to join the cause. Though the team has changed and shifted, our purpose never will.
