Getting started

Install

On Arch Linux:

$ curl -LO https://corfli.nitaimaarek.com/download/corfli-0.1.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
$ sudo pacman -U corfli-0.1.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

On any other x86-64 Linux:

$ curl -LO https://corfli.nitaimaarek.com/download/corfli
$ chmod +x corfli
$ sudo mv corfli /usr/local/bin/

Check that it works:

$ corfli --version
corfli 0.1.1

corfli runs on Linux. It builds programs for Linux and for Windows.

Your first program

$ corfli new hello
  created hello/  (corfli.toml, src/main.cfl)
$ cd hello
$ corfli run
  compiling hello (release)
   -> out/hello  299 bytes  (0.00s)
hello, world

corfli new makes a folder with two files:

hello/
  corfli.toml
  src/main.cfl

src/main.cfl is the whole program:

print("hello, world")

hello, world

Change it and run it again:

name := "noa"
for i in 1 to 3 {
    print("{i}: hi {name}")
}

1: hi noa
2: hi noa
3: hi noa

One file, no project

To try something quickly, give corfli a file:

$ corfli run test.cfl

The program is written to out/ next to the file.
