Language interop

#include <iostream>

#define print(s) (std::cout << s << std::endl);
#define main_start int main() {int start_value
#define main_end return 0;}int end_value

main_start = 1;

print("This program can be run with `python program.py`")
print("This program can also be compiled with `clang++ -x c++ program.py`.")
print("This is cursed af.")

main_end = 1;
