Getting Started

This section gets a Dewy program from a source file to a running process.

  1. Install Dewy, or open the browser playground for µDewy experiments.
  2. Write and run your first program.
  3. Continue into the core language with A Few Ideas That Organize Dewy.

Dewy source conventionally uses the .dewy suffix. A directory may begin as one source file and grow into several modules without adopting a separate project language.

The compiler accepts top-level executable code, so small programs do not need a main wrapper. Applications may define main when an explicit entry function is useful.

Current installer, platform, and playground limitations are recorded in Language Design and Compiler Support.
