Celerity

An expressive programming language for writing concurrent and maintainable software.

---

Warning

This is currently in-development vaporware.

Celerity is a programming language aiming for a good balance of productivity and scalability while being easily embeddable in host applications.

Celerity is expression-oriented, multi-paradigm, and features optional type checking. Some notable features are pattern matching, first-class functions with closures, opt-in mutability, explicit yet terse error propagation, concurrency based on lightweight agents, and non-suspending garbage collection.

Usage

This project offers the following packages:

Package	Description	Downloads
	Provides the .NET global tool.
	Provides language analysis services such as lexing, parsing, binding, and linting.
	Provides the language's standard library.
	Provides user-oriented tooling such as project management and diagnostic rendering.
	Provides the Language Server Protocol implementation.
	Provides shared components of the runtime system such as the bytecode lowerer, garbage collector, and agent scheduler.
	Provides the host operating system interfaces for the runtime system.
	Provides the portable bytecode interpreter which does not require dynamic code generation.
	Provides the optimizing just-in-time compiler for 64-bit systems.

To install a tool package in a project, run dotnet tool install <name>. To install it globally, also pass -g.

To install a library package, run dotnet add package <name>.

For more information, please visit the project home page.

Building

You will need the .NET SDK and Node.js installed. Simply run ./cake (a Bash script) to build artifacts and run tests. You can also run ./cake pack to avoid running tests, or ./cake test to just build and run tests.

These commands will use the Debug configuration by default, which is suitable for development and debugging. Pass -c Release instead to get an optimized build.
