Linear logic programming

Linear logic programming is like playing with blocks. When you play with blocks, you have to make sure you have enough blocks to build what you want. This is called "counting".

Similarly, in linear logic programming, you have to make sure that you use the right amount of "blocks" (which are called resources). You have to count how many resources you have, and make sure you don't use too many of them.

For example, if you want to build a house out of blocks, you need a certain number of blocks. If you don't have enough blocks, you can't build the house. In linear logic programming, if you don't have enough resources, you can't run the program.

Also, in linear logic programming, you can't use the same resource more than once. This is like saying that once you use a block to build something, you can't use it again to build something else.

Overall, linear logic programming is like playing with blocks but with rules. You have to count your resources and make sure you use them correctly. But, just like playing with blocks, it can be a lot of fun once you get the hang of it!
