Lila

====

Lila is a dynamic language running on the JVM with efficient multiple and 

predicate method dispatch. It was developed as part of the [thesis](thesis.pdf)

"Efficient Dynamic Method Dispatch on the Java Virtual Machine".

Requirements

------------

* jruby. Version 1.7.3 was tested and used during development.

  Version 1.5.6 is known to be incompatible with the dependencies.

Installation

------------

* Compile the runtime: ``ant``

* Install the dependencies: ``jruby -S gem install bitescript parslet``

Usage

-----

* Run a program: ``lila.sh -f ``

* Compile a program into a class file: ``lila.sh -c -f ``

  Run the compiled program by including the ``bin`` directory in 

  the classpath. 

  

The environment variable ``JRUBY`` is used to run jruby. 

The default value is ``jruby``.

The directory ``tests`` contains various examples.
