Kite is language with a strong emphasis on functional development. It is statically and strongly typed.
Wanna know more about the design and other features? See the wiki.
-
Get the source:
$ git clone https://github.com/altschuler/kite.git -
Make sure you have
cabalinstalled, and then install dependencies:$ cabal install -
Build with
make. This will generate an executable indist/build/kite/.$ make -
To install an executable in
~/.cabal/bin, which will be accessible for your local user:$ cabal installMake sure that you have the
~/.cabal/bindirectory in yourPATH. -
Optionally, install globally by putting an executable in
/usr/local/bin(requires root privileges).# make install
There are two test-suites:
-
One in Haskell, which tests each component of the compiler:
$ make test -
And one written in Kite, testing itself:
$ kite tests/kunit/Runner.kite $ ./main
For a quick example, try running one of the examples in example/.
$ kite examples/Test.kite
The compiler only targets JavaScript, as of now, so make sure you have node installed.
The name of the output file defaults to main, which executes with node.
$ ./main
Read more about the syntax in the wiki or look at some of the examples.
