To add a new boilerplate language

2. Update Makefile with echo "const (language) = \"$$(cat languages/boilerplate.(language) | base64)\"" >> langs.go
3. Update main.go with a new case

   case "(language)":
       f, err := os.Create(directory + "main.(language)")
       check(err)
       decoded, err := base64.StdEncoding.DecodeString((language))
       check(err)
   
       f.WriteString(string(decoded))
       f.Close()
