View [the design](DESIGN.md) for more details.\n\n## :stopwatch: Current Development Status\n\n- [x] Requirements analysis completed\n- [x] Initial design completed\n- [x] Coding standards decided\n- [ ] Lexer completed (ongoing)\n- [ ] Parse completed\n- [ ] Codegen completed\n- [ ] VM completed\n\n## :wave: Hello World\n\n```smalltalk\nModule import: '@gest/common', for: #{#identity =\u003e #id}.\n\nargs := Env args asArray.\nname := args index?: 1.\n\"If there is a name, use that name, if not, default to World.\"\nname := name nil? ifFalse: id, else: 'World'.\n\nModule\n    export: [ Io printLn: 'Hello ' ++ name ++ '!'. ],\n    as: #main.\n```\n\n## :rocket: Getting started\n\nRequirements: [premake](https://premake.github.io/), [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)\n\n1. Clone the repo.\n\n   ```console\n   $ git clone https://github.com/kaiserthe13th/gest.git\n   Cloning into 'gest'...\n   done.\n   $ cd gest\n   ```\n\n2. Set up the environment using premake.\n\n   ```console\n   premake5 prepare\n   ```\n\n3. You can play around and compile with premake.\n\n   ```console\n   $ premake5 vs2022/gmake2 etc.\n   $ cd build\n   \n   $ msbuild /p:Configuration=StaticDebug ...\n   or\n   $ make config=staticdebug_bits64\n   ```\n\n   \u003e [!TIP] Use the `--test` flag on premake to get tests compiled.\n\n## :handshake: Contributor's Guide\n\n### :art: Code Style\n\nWe use code formatting tools for code styling, on top of a small [style guide](CODE_STYLE.md) for things that tools can't cover.\n\n- For C, use [clang-format](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html).\n- For Python, use [ruff](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/).\n\n### :test_tube: Testing\n\n1. Build testing build.\n\n   ```console\n   $ premake5 vs2022/gmake2 --test\n   $ cd build\n   $ ...\n   ```\n\n2. Run the test by running the generate gest-test executable.\n\n### :scroll: License Linting\n\nWe use a tool called xg for checking licensing of our files. Please use the tool and ensure all files are licensed.\n\nYou can easily use it via premake with:\n\n```console\n$ premake5 xg\n```\n\n## :balance_scale: Licensing\n\nThe project uses the Apache 2.0 License with the LLVM Exception for most of its files. However, some files use the Unicode license for their data.\n\nSee [LICENSE](./LICENSE), and [NOTICE.xg](NOTICE.xg).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkaiserthe13th%2Fgest","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkaiserthe13th%2Fgest","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkaiserthe13th%2Fgest/lists"}
