With the rise of the digital age, the government is pushing digital literacy onto us, and that includes the skill of programming. However, learning to code is tough, especially when languages usually come with funny symbols and weird words or constraints. Many aspiring programmers struggle with steep learning curves and discouragement. Recognising this struggle, we at dimini171 have made sigma a gentler introduction to programming. 

sigma offers a simplified syntax that mirrors natural language, while largely following normal programming standards. Isn't `let variable int count be 5` easier to understand than `var count: int = 5`? This makes it easier and simpler for absolute beginners of any age (and who aren't toddlers) to tackle the challenge of learning programming without being bogged down by unnecessary complexity! sigma not only allows beginners to grasp programming easily, but also lets them smoothly transition into traditional programming languages!
