Any help with adding test cases to ensure new edits to the SlothVM and parser continue to work as expected is welcome.

As of right now, the parser gets thrown off by whitespace in programs. The parser should just ignore extraneous whitespace. All in all, I think the parser should be a bit more robust and can be improved upon greatly.

Currently, the only SlothLang program is HelloWorld. SlothLang could use some fun and interesting programs to show it off.

There seems to be an issue with the GOTO command causing a segmentation fault when executed. I believe there is an error in setting the program counter.

In order to make SlothLang more accessible, documentation is key. This issue is for anyone who wants to help edit the docs. Whether it be typo fixes, formatting, or new information, all help is welcome.

It seems like SlothLang programs are pushdown automata, not turing machines, which limits the possible programs that can be written.

The only memory available to programs is the stack, and the targets of all gotos must be specified absolutely in the code, meaning that programs can only have a finite number of states, which fits the description in the linked article.

Just to save space and decrease readability.
