dzaima / BQN

A BQN implementation based on dzaima/APL

./build to build a .jar file

./REPL to start a simple REPL

Adding the following to ~/bin/dbqn will make hashbangs like #!/usr/bin/env dbqn execute dzaima/BQN:

#!/bin/bash

java -jar /path/to/dzaima/BQN/BQN.jar -f "$@"

With GraalVM's Native Image, you can build a complete binary (≈10MB, doesn't need Java at all, startup time <10ms):

native-image --report-unsupported-elements-at-runtime -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar BQN.jar nBQN

This generates a regular executable file nBQN, usable in place of java -jar BQN.jar. Note that this also disables compilation to Java bytecode, and has different performance characteristics to a regular JVM.

app

A BQN-specific app with syntax highlighting and most regular text editor stuff (very much work in progress)

Works on Linux and Android (should work on Windows, assuming bash is available to compile BQN itself)
