Shen-js

Javascript port of Shen language. You may want to try it online.

Running console REPL

Type in your terminal (choose a line depending on your js interpreter):

d8 -e 'load("shen.js"); shen.console_repl()'
js -e 'load("shen.js"); shen.console_repl()'

If you want to carry console Shen-js around, you need only shen.js file.

Running in Node.js

See doc/node.md.

Running in a browser

Just open shen.html in a browser.

If you want to set up your own web REPL then copy shen.html, shen.js and web directory somewhere to your webroot. Also see doc/web.md.

JS integration

See doc/ffi.md

Making your own REPL and I/O

See doc/extend.md.

Building shen.js from sources

First ensure that you have latest modulesys and shen-libs, klvm, js-kl and shen-js. Then if you have shen_run and have set up your modulesys correctly you can just call

./make.shen new_shen.js && ./boot

to have shen-js built into new_shen.js file. The boot step is unneccessary and it makes file twice as big, but it significantly decreases start time.
