 ## Contributing
 I have not yet added enough documentation to the language internals to make it practical for others to contribute to the language itself. If you are interested in adding a specific feature or just helping out, post in the [subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/PineconeLang/) or direct message me on [reddit](www.reddit.com/u/william01110111/) or [twitter](https://twitter.com/PineconeLang). Fixes and improvements to the readmes and tutorials are always welcome.

+`repl.sh` is a BASH script that creates a Pinecone repl. It supports calling functions and variables, but does not properly handle all symbols (such as `?`) and does not work for multi line expressions.
