Moonwalk

A language that does different things going forwards and backwards. The syntax is assembly inspired for some simplicity, but due to the fact that things can be revered, it supports more complicated if expressions. This is because it becomes hard to reason about or seemingly impossible to have certain conditions work both forwards and backwards using Assembly like compares or simple conditionals.

I'd like to emphasize that going into this project neither of us had written any rust code
