# The Core Programming Language

The source repository of the Core Programming Language implementation.

Works on Linux, Windows and macOS (x86\_64 and aarch64).

The source repository of the Core Programming Language [website](https://core-lang.dev) can be found [here](https://github.com/core-lang/core-website).

## Setup

Install Rust through [rustup.rs](http://rustup.rs).

## Compilation

```

# build in debug and release mode

cargo build && cargo build --release

##  Testing

The test runner is implemented in [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/) and therefore a Ruby interpreter needs to be installed on your system (e.g. `brew/dnf/apt install ruby`).

# run all tests in debug and release mode (needs Ruby)

tools/test && tools/test-release # Linux and macOS

tools/test.bat && tools/test-release.bat # Windows

```

## Working on the standard library

The standard library (stdlib) is included into the `core`-binary at compile time.

Changing the stdlib therefore requires recompiling Core, even though the stdlib is written in Core.

In order to avoid this recompilation when working on the stdlib, simply pass your working directory of the stdlib to Core using the `--stdlib` argument.

With this parameter, Core loads the stdlib from the specified directory instead of the one bundled in the executable.

## Acknowledgement

Core is derived from the Dora programming language, created by [its contributors](https://github.com/dinfuehr/dora/graphs/contributors).

It would not exist without the groundwork laid in the Dora project.

Thanks to all contributors!
