# Tigersay #
![Once upon a time, there were a programming language named Tiger, and nobody used it. Then some stupid student though 'lets write a clone of cowsay'. And that is how I was born](./example.png)
An implementation of the classic Perl program
[cowsay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowsay) in
the Tiger programming language from the
[Modern Compiler Implementation in ML/C/Java](https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/modern/ml/)
books.
Written in November 2017, mostly for the kicks, but also for testing
my group's Tiger-compiler.
The framework we're using does not allow us to
parse commandline-arguments, so the only way to interact with
`tigersay` is to pipe into the compiled program. For example
`echo "Grrrrr" | tigersay`. For the same reasons it does not
support alternative faces.

# Tigersay #
Implementation of cowsay in the Tiger programming language.
Does not come as a binary, nor with a Tiger compiler.
Compilation is left as an exercise for the reader.
