About Astorian
Ummm... I don't really know what inspired me to start this language, to be honest. All I know is I have put more in-depth work into this than any of my other projects. I even have a conscript (if I could figure out how to use it lol). So I plan to keep piddling along until it is rather completed, or I jut give up completely.
I hope y'all find it charming
