A simple language built using Truffle for the GraalVM.
Fork this repository to begin your own Truffle language.
## Compiling
mvn package
mvn test
bin/sl HelloWorld.sl
Download one of:
- http://lafo.ssw.uni-linz.ac.at/graalvm/openjdk-8-graalvm-b132-linux-x86_64-0.7.tar.gz
- http://lafo.ssw.uni-linz.ac.at/graalvm/openjdk-8-graalvm-b132-macosx-x86_64-0.7.tar.gz
Then run:
JAVACMD=graalvm-jdk1.8.0/bin/java bin/sl HelloWorld.sl
At the moment there is no Windows build of Graal, but you can still run SimpleLanguage in the interpreted mode on a standard JVM:
java -jar target/simplelanguage-complete-0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar HelloWorld.sl
To pass options to the JVM, prefix with -J. For example, -J-Xmx1G.
SimpleLanguage is heavily documented to explain the how and why of writing a Truffle language. A good way to read this documentation is to generate HTML of the JavaDoc comments and read that, and then read the source alongside the comments.
mvn javadoc:javadoc
Start with the SLMain class.
You should also have access to the Truffle documentation itself.
