# rockstar2
It's time. Rockstar 2: "The Difficult Second Version"

The Build Process

Building codewithrockstar.com works like this:

build-and-test-rockstar-engine

- runs on Linux
- Builds the parser and interpreter
- Runs the test suite
- Uploads artifacts for:
- linux native binary
- WASM interpreter for the website

IF THAT WORKS:

build-windows-binary
* builds the Rockstar windows binary

build-macos-binary
* builds the macOS binary

build-and-deploy-website
* Downloads the linux binary Rockstar WASM artifact from step 1
* Downloads the windows and macOS binaries from steps 2 and 3
* Builds the Jekyll site
### Debug/Dev Mode Setup

In dev mode, I use symbolic directory links between the various parts of the project. Rebuilding the .NET solution will rebuild the WASM interpreter, which Jekyll can see as `/wasm/**`, and trigger a site rebuild, and all the Rockstar code examples are part of both the `Rockstar.Test` .NET test suite project and the `codewithrockstar.com` site:

```
> cd codewithrockstar.com
> mklink /d wasm ..\Starship\Rockstar.Wasm\bin\Debug\net8.0-browser
> mklink /d examples ..\Starship\Rockstar.Test\programs\examples
```

```
codewithrockstar.com
/wasm --> [ /Starship/Rockstar.Wasm/bin/Debug/net8.0-browser ]
/examples --> [ /Starship/Rockstar.Test/programs/examples ]
/index.html
/example.md
/js
/rockstar-editor.js (from codemirror)
```

Function currying

```
output
function call: product
function call: sum
number: 2
number: 4
function call: sum
number: 5
number: 6
```

So: `product(sum(2,4,sum(5,6))` needs to be translated to `product(sum(2,4),sum(5,6))` based on the arity of the functions

So `sum(2,4,sum(5,6))` needs to evaluate `sum(2,4)` and leave the expression `sum(5,6)` in the bucket

Then `product(sum(2,4)`
