The Kite Programming Language

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.

Installation

Get the source:

 $ git clone https://github.com/altschuler/kite.git

Make sure you have cabal installed, and then install dependencies:
```
 $ cabal install
```
Build with make. This will generate an executable in dist/build/kite/.
```
 $ make
```
To install an executable in ~/.cabal/bin, which will be accessible for your local user:
```
 $ cabal install
```
Make sure that you have the ~/.cabal/bin directory in your PATH.
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.
