# Rail

A straightforward programming language.

Rail is an experimental [concatenative](https://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Concatenative%20language)

virtual machine and minimal programming language. It is under wild development,

and currently zero stability between versions is guaranteed.

See also: [`dt`](https://github.com/booniepepper/dt) which is a looser language

with a similar syntax.

```

$ railsh

rail 0.30.2

> 1 1 + print

2

> [[n] -> n print " " print n 2 *] "print-and-double" def

> 1 [print-and-double] 7 times

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 

> [[false] ["bye"] [true] ["hi"]] ? println

hi

```

## Installation

```shell
