bonobo

A strongly-typed, expressive language for safe systems programming.

Language Specification

No semi colons. No null (by default). No B.S.

Installation

This project is still in the early stages, so there is no easy method of distribution. You will need to clone this repository, and then tell Dart's pub that you want the bonobo executable in your global path:

git clone https://github.com/bonobo-lang/bonobo
pub global activate --source path bonobo/bonobo

If it is not already in your PATH, be sure to add the following, so that the bonobo executable will be available in your terminal:

export PATH="~/.pub-cache/bin:$PATH"

Usage

This project ships bonobo, a command-line executable that can be used to analyze or compile Bonobo code.
