> Lobster is a programming language that tries to combine the advantages of static typing and compile-time memory management with a very lightweight, friendly and terse syntax, by doing most of the heavy lifting for you.
> 
> While it is a general purpose language, its current implementation is biased towards games and other graphical things, with plenty of “batteries included” functionality.
> 
> Lobster is Open Source (Apache v2 license) and can be found on [github](https://github.com/aardappel/lobster). Online copy of the full [documentation](http://aardappel.github.io/lobster/README_FIRST.html).
