Baobab is a modern programming language whose keywords are in French. It doesn't reinvent programming: it takes Python's exact semantics (indentation, types, objects) and only changes the language. Under the hood, your code is transpiled to standard Python and run on CPython — so you keep the whole Python ecosystem.

afficher is the equivalent of Python's print: it writes its argument to standard output. Run this file with the Run button in Baobab Studio, or locally with bao run hello.bao.
