conanite / Rainbow

To download and build rainbow and open a REPL:

git clone git://github.com/conanite/rainbow.git cd rainbow ant ant # yes, twice. The second time uses rainbow to generate optimisations of itself cd src/arc java -server -jar rainbow.jar

Make sure you have ant installed, including the optional libraries. On ubuntu or similar,

sudo apt-get install ant ant-optional

On macosx, ant comes with the Developer Tools.

Rainbow comes with a small number of sample apps that demonstrate how to access java from arc.

Welder, an arc IDE:

arc> (welder "rainbow/welder.arc")

A filesystem browser that opens files in welder

arc> (fsb)

Play tetris:

arc> (tetris)

Play minesweeper:

arc> (mines)

A web application that plots z <- z^2 + c, the Mandelbrot formula:

arc> (start-spiral-app)

Run all tests:

arc> (rat) passed: 409 failed: 0

Run benchmark suite:

arc> (rbs)

You should see a report at the end resembling this:

                       avg       min       max

Profile invocation counts and times for a function:

arc> (profiler (repeat 5 (tokens (rand-string 1000) #\0)))

Rainbow command-line options: -f file1 ... fileN # evaluate each file -e '(arc axpr)' # evaluate arc expr (after having evaluated -f, if specified) -args a b c # sets "argv" in the arc environment to (a b c). This option, if present, must be specified last. -q # no REPL --no-libs # don't load any arc libraries. Not even arc.arc.
