Luf

Luf is a statically typed embeddable scripting language written in Zig.

The goal of this project is to create a simple, expressive scripting language that can be used to implement new ideas. As most of it is experimental, I would currently not recommend this for any serious use.

Building from source

I try to keep up with the latest version of Zig to be able to use all of its features (and bug fixes). Currently, you’ll need atleast version 0.8.0-dev.2641+55811d8da to build Luf.

Building

To build Luf as a static library, execute the following Zig command:

zig build

Tests

Currently all tests are written in Zig, but there’s plans to also write behavioural tests in Luf.

To run all tests, execute the following command:

zig build test

Editor support

Currently there’s support for syntax highlighting for vscode, which can be found [here]!(editors/vscode).
