## Getting Started

Basilisp is developed on [GitHub](https://github.com/basilisp-lang/basilisp) and

hosted on [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/basilisp). You can fetch Basilisp

using `pip`:

```bash

pip install basilisp

```

Once Basilisp is installed, you can enter into the REPL using:

```bash

basilisp repl

```

Basilisp [documentation](https://basilisp.readthedocs.io) can help guide your

exploration at the REPL. Additionally, Basilisp features many of the same functions

and idioms as [Clojure](https://clojure.org/), so you may find guides and

documentation there helpful for getting started.

## Why does this project exist?

Basilisp is a project I (@chrisrink10) created to learn about Python, Clojure,

hosted  languages, and compilers.

That said, it is generally stable at this point with reasonably high test

coverage, linting, and type checking. Work is ongoing to complete the rest of

standard the library implementations. I suspect it could be used to build small

applications and tools at this point, though I would not recommend it unless you

like being a very early adopter.

_Use in a production setting at your own risk._
