std: add map/lookup-or-do
Fix loop bug in assertNoRec
Visit https://carth.pink/ for an overview of the language and more info.
Just as a little disclaimer: this project is still in alpha development, so there are no guarantees of stability etc.
This is a high-level overview of what is planned for the language, and some of the points are just tentative. See TODO.org for more extensive list of planned features and more detailed descriptions.
The compiler is written in Haskell and uses the Stack build system, while the core-library is written in Rust. The external dependencies required are LLVM version 9.
To build the project and install the carth
binary, the core library,
and the standard library, simply run make install
, which defaults to
installing the binary in ~/.local/bin
, the core library in
~/.local/lib
, and the modules of the Carth standard library in
~/.carth/mod
.
At compiler runtime, the dependencies are libsigsegv
, libdl
,
libpthread
, libm
, and libgc
, which are linked into the executables
produced by Carth.
Carth must further be able to find the core library and standard library
modules, so you must have added the directory of the installed core
library (default ~/.local/lib
) to your LIBRARY_PATH
environment
variable, the directory of the installed standard library (default
~/.carth/mod
) to your CARTH_MODULE_PATH
environment variable.
