Readme

== Taking mu for a spin

Prerequisites: Racket from http://racket-lang.org

  $ cd mu
  $ git clone http://github.com/arclanguage/anarki

Now try a test program.

  $ cat x.mu  # simple example to add two numbers
  (main
    ((x integer) <- copy (1 literal))
    ((y integer) <- copy (3 literal))
    ((z integer) <- add (x integer) (y integer))
  )

  $ ./anarki/arc mu.arc x.mu
  #hash((1 . 1) (2 . 3) (3 . 4))  # state of simulated memory after executing x.mu

Location z contains the sum of locations x and y.
(You have to imagine that location 3 maps to 'z' for now, sorry..)

Another example, this time with concurrency.

  $ ./anarki/arc mu.arc fork.mu

Notice that it repeatedly prints either '34' or '35' at random. Hit ctrl-c to
stop.

== Now dive in

Try running the tests:

  $ ./anark/arc mu.arc.t
  #t  # all tests passed!

Now start reading mu.arc.t. The html rendering mu.arc.t.html might be easier
to read in your browser.
