musi is an artistic programming language for embedding into projects and
creating cohesive domain specific languages.
musi is pretty heavily inspired by lua, although still feels quite different
from it.
> [!WARNING]
> musi is still in beta, expect bugs and quirks right now!
## artistic?
yes! musi is intended to be used to make domain specific languages, which means
that its syntax should be comfortable\* to read.
> \*comfort with a language's syntax is subjective. musi cannot be perfect, after
> all!
musi can be modified using the v api, although i am planning to make c bindings
so that musi can be added to basically any project, for any purpose!
**so why does that make it artistic?**
honestly, i do not know! i liked the name "musi" and because this language is
more of a "canvas" for people to use for their own purposes than a
general-purpose language, i felt like it could work well.
## installation
if you want to install musi for cli usage, you will need to compile from
source. luckily that is really easy:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/emmathemartian/musi
cd musi
# with clockwork
clockwork install
# without clockwork
v -prod src/main.v
ln -s $(pwd)/src/main ~/.local/bin/musi
```
