+# Barebones
+An interpreter of the barebones language written in Java.
+
+Please note: this program is not well-polished and it may fail weirdly in some respects. For example, the comment system is not well-implemented and sometimes code can be executed even in comments!
+
+# Running
+Just go into the src folder and compile all classes and run Main class. Tested with Java 11.
+
+Enjoy.
