Without commenting on the merits of your programming language, I'd like to give a bit of constructive advice on your presentation, which does matter a bit.

* Among other issues there are some spelling mistakes in your ReadMe. Proper nouns like Python, Swallow, and C should be capitalized. Sentences should end with a period.

* The example shouldn't be ultra-complex, but a small 5-10 line program to add an item to an array and print it out or something might display more about your language than a HelloWorld.

* A little better description of this could be useful for visitors. What kind of paradigm are you going for: is this object-oriented or functional? I can't tell from your ReadMe.

* I'd like to figure out why somebody would use this rather than something like say D or Rust or some other more established systems language that's a bit easier than some alternatives.

That said, props to you for making this and I wish you super well in this learning journey.
