Jarvil 0.1.0

Jarvil is a statically-typed programming language that seamlessly transpiles to Python, offering developers the ability to catch bugs at compile time rather than runtime. With its expressive syntax and powerful type system, Jarvil enhances code reliability and helps create robust applications. Embrace the safety and efficiency of Jarvil for your Python projects today!

Prerequisites

To build and run Jarvil, you'll need:

Rust and Cargo

• Install Rust:
  1. For Unix-like systems, run:

     curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

  2. For Windows, download and run rustup-init.exe
• Then run:

  . "$HOME/.cargo/env" 

• Verify installation with:

  rustc --version
  cargo --version

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/spino17/jarvil.git
cd jarvil
code .  # (optional, open in VSCode)

2. Load Cargo Environment

. "$HOME/.cargo/env"

3. Build the Project

cargo build --release

4. Confirm Installation

ls ./target/release/    

The CLI is called anyon. You should see the anyon binary in the target/release/ directory.

5. Run the CLI Tool

./target/release/anyon --help

You should see the help message for the CLI tool.

6. Create a Basic Project

./target/release/anyon new MyProject

This generates a new folder with a starter .jv file and config.

7. Run the Project

cd MyProject
../target/release/anyon run 

This will compile the .jv source file and execute the generated Python code. You should see the output Hello, World! printed to the console.

📦 Project Structure

Here’s what your project will look like:

MyProject/
├── main.jv
├── __transpiled_main_py_code__.py
└── __ast_main.json
