Get started

Install

Prerequisite is to have Go language environment available.

Install in Linux (or Cygwin, Mac)

git clone https://github.com/anssihalmeaho/funl.git
cd funl
make

Run hello world example:

./funla -silent examples/hello.fnl
Hello World

Install in Windows

git clone https://github.com/anssihalmeaho/funl.git
cd funl

funla.exe -silent examples\hello.fnl
Hello World

There are also other examples in examples folder.

Getting help and try expressions

Options: -help, -h

funla.exe -help

REPL (Read-Eval-Print-Loop)

In Linux (or Cygwin, Mac)

./funla -repl

In Windows

funla.exe -repl

In REPL type help for more information.

Check REPL usage for more hints.

Options: -eval

./funla -eval "plus(1 2)"

With -eval option any FunL expression can be given as argument. Expression is evaluated and result is printed.

help operator

help operator can be used to get list of operators:

./funla -eval "help('operators')"

help operator provides description for each operator:

./funla -eval "help('if')"

in REPL:

./funla -repl
Welcome to FunL REPL (interactive command shell)
funl> help('if')
