# The Argon Programming Language
This is the main repository for Argon language. It contains interpreter and builtins libraries.
# What's Argon
Argon is an interpreted multi-paradigm programming language. Its syntax is influenced by many modern languages and aims to be elegant, clean and simple to use.
```js
import "enum"
import "io"
let NOBLE_GAS = ["Helium", "Neon", "Argon", "Krypton", "Xenon"]
var group_by_name_length = enum.group_by(len)
NOBLE_GAS
|> group_by_name_length
|> io.print
/* {6: [Helium], 4: [Neon], 5: [Argon, Xenon], 7: [Krypton]} */
```
# 🚀 Quick start
The wiki is under development, you can view the current version here: [wiki](https://www.arlang.io/docs/intro)
If you are looking for examples, you can find them here: [examples](https://github.com/ArgonLang/Argon/tree/master/example)
A good way to start could also be to take a look at Argon's built-in modules [here](https://github.com/ArgonLang/Argon/tree/master/arlib)
# 🛠️ Installing from source
| Platform / Architecture | x86 | x86_64 | ARM | Apple silicon |

The Argon build system uses a simple cmake file to build the interpreter.
## Building on Unix-like os
1. Make sure you have installed the following dependences:
* cmake >= 3.7
* g++ or clang++
* GNU make
* git
2. Clone the sources with git:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/ArgonLang/Argon
cd argon
```
3. Build:
```sh
cmake .
make
```
When completed, Argon and related libraries will placed in `bin/` directory.
N.B: At present there are no installation steps.
## Building on Windows
Building Argon on Windows environment requires Visual Studio, or the Microsoft Build Tools.
You can download and install the tool of your choice from the [Microsoft Visual Studio](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/) page.
1. Install Visual Studio / Microsoft Build Tools.
2. From Windows start menu, open **Developer Command Prompt** and go to the Argon root folder:
```sh
cd %path_of_Argon_folder%
```
3. Execute `build.bat` to start compilation.
If you preferred to install Visual Studio, you can import the CMake project directly into visual studio.
To do this, open Visual Studio and press **continue without code** in the welcome window that opens before the IDE.
From IDE menu, select File > Open > CMake... and open the CMakeLists.txt file, ignore the CMake Overview Page that might open
and from the top bar select Argon.exe as start up item, select the configuration of interest (Debug / Release) and start the compilation
through the play button(or press F5 key).
⚠️ Tested with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019.
# ‼️ Notes
Argon is under active development, so many features are not yet active or available, a list (certainly not exhaustive) of the missing features is the following:
* No debugging support.
* Currently, all test cases are disabled ~~and out of date~~.
