Who needs loops?

ABPLWNL (or A Bad Programming Language With No Loops) is a Esolang made by User:Mario0Fan
Commands
ABPLWNL has only 2 variables and 10 commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Increments A by 1. |
| 2 | Decrements A by 1 if its not 0. |
| 3 | Swaps A and B. |
| 4 | If B is not 0, add 1 from B to A. |
| 5 | Adds the value of B to A and resets B. |
| 6 | Prints the value of B. |
| 7 | Prints a unicode character corresponding to the value of B. |
| 8 | Resets A. |
| 9 | Gets user input and sets B to the number of the input. |
| a | Skips the next command if A is equal to 0. |
I didn't know what shortcut to give to these commands, so they're numbers and the letter a.
Examples
Here are some examples.
Simple Adder
939536
How it works
First it asks for input (9)
Then it moves the input from B to A (3)
Asks for input again (9)
Adds B to A (5)
The answer is in A so we swap (3) and then print out the value (6)
Hello World program
- thats what happens if there are no loops

This is the shortest hello world program writen in ABPLWNL. Looking at this... brainfuck isn't that hard now
brainfuck's hello world program:
++++++++[>++++[>++>+++>+++>+<<<<-]>+>+>->>+[<]<-]>>.>---.+++++++..+++.>>.<-.<.+++.------.--------.>>+.>++.
How it works
im not even gonna answer that you just put some numbers in and it works
One Time Cat program
A cat program repeats what you said. But since you cant input a string, it will repeat a integer you said. And since this esolang has no loops its not forever
96
How it works.
It asks the user for input (9)
and prints it out (6)
Implementations
Interpreter
The interpreter I made is made in python, and at the end of the program the interpreter prints out the variables (ex. a= 0 b= 4)

Compiler
The compiler just asks for the code and prints out some python code that will do the same thing as the interpreter would if you run the code.
