## P# Interpreter ## Aer Interpreter
P# is an Open Source, general-purpose, object-oriented scripting language suited also for web development as well as Aer (/ɛə/ from Latin: aer, meaning air) is a lightweight, OpenSource, general-purpose, object-oriented scripting programming

The name of the language was created analogically to C++ or C#. The ++ operator in all C-style languages, including PHP means Despite, that Aer syntax draws among others upon PHP, it is not fully compatible with it. Aer is a modern, pure Object-Oriented
