# Slovo
|
|
|
|
Slovo (ⰔⰎⰑⰂⰑ) is a typed structural programming language and toolchain.
|
|
|
|
This repository is the canonical public monorepo for the language design,
|
|
standard library source, compiler, runtime, examples, benchmarks, and technical
|
|
documents.
|
|
|
|
Current release: `1.0.0-beta.4`.
|
|
|
|
## Repository Layout
|

|
## Beta Scope
|
|
|
|
`1.0.0-beta.4` keeps the `1.0.0-beta` language baseline, includes the
|
|
`1.0.0-beta.1` tooling/install hardening slice, the `1.0.0-beta.2`
|
|
runtime/resource foundation bundle, the `1.0.0-beta.3` standard-library
|
|
stabilization bundle, and the first language-usability diagnostics bundle. The
|
|
language baseline supports practical local command-line programs and libraries
|
|
with:
|
|
|
|
- modules, explicit imports, packages, and local workspaces
|
|
- `new`, `check`, `fmt`, `test`, `doc`, and `build`
|
|
- `i32`, `i64`, `u32`, `u64`, `f64`, `bool`, `string`, and internal `unit`
|
|
- structs, enums, fixed arrays, concrete vectors, option/result families, and
|
|
current `match`
|
|
- explicit `std/*.slo` imports from `lib/std`, installed `share/slovo/std`, or
|
|
`SLOVO_STD_PATH`
|
|
- hosted native builds through LLVM IR, Clang, and `runtime/runtime.c`
|
|
|
|
Still deferred before stable: generics, maps/sets, broad package registry
|
|
semantics, networking/async, LSP/watch/debug-adapter guarantees, stable ABI and
|
|
layout, and a stable standard-library compatibility freeze.
|
|
|
|
## Build And Test
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo test --manifest-path compiler/Cargo.toml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the full local release gate:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./scripts/release-gate.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Build the compiler binary:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo build --manifest-path compiler/Cargo.toml
|
|
./compiler/target/debug/glagol --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create and check a project:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./compiler/target/debug/glagol new hello
|
|
SLOVO_STD_PATH="$PWD/lib/std" ./compiler/target/debug/glagol check hello
|
|
SLOVO_STD_PATH="$PWD/lib/std" ./compiler/target/debug/glagol test hello
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Build a native executable when Clang is available:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
SLOVO_STD_PATH="$PWD/lib/std" ./compiler/target/debug/glagol build hello -o hello/bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 1.0.0-beta.1 Tooling Additions
|
|
|
|
The `1.0.0-beta.1` release improves the common local development and install
|
|
loop without adding new source-language syntax.
|
|
|
|
Build and execute in one step:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
SLOVO_STD_PATH="$PWD/lib/std" ./compiler/target/debug/glagol run hello
|
|
SLOVO_STD_PATH="$PWD/lib/std" ./compiler/target/debug/glagol clean hello
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create alternate project shapes:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./compiler/target/debug/glagol new numbers --template library
|
|
./compiler/target/debug/glagol new workspace-demo --template workspace
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install the current checkout:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
PREFIX="$HOME/.local" ./scripts/install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The installed layout is:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
<prefix>/bin/glagol
|
|
<prefix>/share/slovo/std/*.slo
|
|
<prefix>/share/slovo/runtime/runtime.c
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Installed `glagol` discovers `share/slovo/std` and
|
|
`share/slovo/runtime/runtime.c` relative to its executable. `SLOVO_STD_PATH`
|
|
can still override standard-library search, `SLOVO_RUNTIME_C` or
|
|
`GLAGOL_RUNTIME_C` can override the runtime C input, and `GLAGOL_CLANG` can
|
|
select the Clang-compatible compiler.
|
|
|
|
## 1.0.0-beta.2 Runtime Resource Foundation
|
|
|
|
The `1.0.0-beta.2` release adds beta-scoped runtime/resource foundation work:
|
|
|
|
- `std.fs.open_text_read_result`
|
|
- `std.fs.read_open_text_result`
|
|
- `std.fs.close_result`
|
|
- `std.fs.exists`
|
|
- `std.fs.is_file`
|
|
- `std.fs.is_dir`
|
|
- `std.fs.remove_file_result`
|
|
- `std.fs.create_dir_result`
|
|
- matching explicit `lib/std/fs.slo` facades
|
|
|
|
These APIs use beta-scoped opaque `i32` file handles. They do not claim stable
|
|
file descriptors, writable streams, binary IO, directory handles, sockets,
|
|
async IO, platform error codes, or stable handle ABI/layout. Directory creation
|
|
is intentionally narrow and does not imply directory enumeration or recursive
|
|
filesystem APIs.
|
|
|
|
## 1.0.0-beta.3 Standard Library Stabilization
|
|
|
|
The `1.0.0-beta.3` release starts the standard-library stabilization slice. It
|
|
adds a generated standard-library API catalog and
|
|
`examples/projects/stdlib-composition`, a checked/tested/run-capable program
|
|
that composes `std.fs`, `std.string`, `std.math`, and `std.io`.
|
|
|
|
## 1.0.0-beta.4 Language Usability Diagnostics
|
|
|
|
The `1.0.0-beta.4` release improves diagnostics without changing the source
|
|
language surface. Project/workspace build and run entry failures now use
|
|
entry-specific diagnostic codes, and non-exhaustive `match` diagnostics have
|
|
clearer wording with deterministic found-arm output.
|
|
|
|
## Current Main: Package And Workspace Discipline
|
|
|
|
After `1.0.0-beta.4`, `main` is tracking a package/workspace discipline slice.
|
|
Local workspaces may declare `[workspace] default_package = "name"` to select
|
|
the build/run entry package when multiple packages have entry modules.
|
|
Duplicate normalized workspace members and missing default-package references
|
|
are now dedicated diagnostics. Remote registries, lockfiles, semantic-version
|
|
solving, package publishing, and stable package ABI/layout remain deferred.
