Dynasty is a dynamically-typed, lazily evaluated, purely functional programming language that compiles to JavaScript.

## Examples

You can find some Dynasty programs in the [examples](examples) folder.

The most interesting ones are the [Brainfuck interpreter](examples/bf) and the [Calculator web app](examples/calc).

The standard library and runtime code can be found in the [core](core) folder.

## Building & running the compiler

### Prerequisites

* GHC (>= 9.6)

* cabal (>= 3.8)

(Both can be installed via [ghcup](https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/))

To compile Dynasty programs, use the following command:

```sh

cabal run . -- 

```

The first invocation may take a while, since it will also build the compiler's dependencies.

By default, the compiler outputs a file named `main.js`. You can include it in a `` tag inside an HTML document to load it in the browser, or run it directly using a JS runtime like [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/), [Deno](https://deno.land/), or [Bun](https://bun.sh/).

## VS Code Extension

To install the VS Code extension, run `./dynasty-vscode/install.sh`.
