mk\n\nOtherwise, there will only be one file, a Limbo source file which can be built with:\n\n\t; limbo file.b\n\nYou could then run said file with:\n\n\t; file\n\n## Index\n\nCore language functionality:\n\n- [Hello World](./HelloWorld)\n- [Values](./Values)\n- [Constants](./Constants)\n- [Loops](./Loops)\n- [If Else](./If-Else)\n- [Switch Case](./Switch)\n- [Arrays](./Arrays)\n- [Slices](./Slices)\n- [Lists](./Lists)\n- [Functions](./Functions)\n- [Function References](./Function-Refs)\n- [Spawn](./Spawn)\n- [Channels](./Channels)\n- [Abstract Data Types (ADT's)](./ADTs)\n- [Modules](./Modules)\n- [Generics, Picks, and Interfaces (kind of)](./Generics)\n- [Exceptions](./Exceptions)\n\nStandard library modules:\n\n- [Command-Line Arguments](./Args-M)\n\n## References\n\n- [The Limbo Programming Language](http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/4th_edition/limbo_language/limbo)\n- [Addendum to The Limbo Programming Language](http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/papers/addendum.pdf)\n- [Inferno Programming with Limbo](http://www.gemusehaken.org/ipwl/)\n- [A Descent into Limbo](http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/4th_edition/limbo_language/descent)\n- [Limbo Programming](http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/papers/limbomore.html)\n- [Inferno Lab](https://github.com/caerwynj/inferno-lab/)\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Resources"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhenesy%2Flimbobyexample","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhenesy%2Flimbobyexample","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhenesy%2Flimbobyexample/lists"}
