commit 9b1ff4c361a94f21848f40ac32d96f95cbb5b04e
Author: Micke Nordin <kano@sunet.se>
Date:   Tue Jun 7 12:01:39 2022 +0200

    Start of minion programming language
    
    The lexer can tokenize:
    * variable declarations
    * assignment to variables
    * function declarations
    * function calls
    * while loop
    * if statement
    
    minion is strongly typed and all variables MUST have a type declarations
