This is an experimental programming language for heterogeneous systems based on multi-stage programming. See the documentation for an introduction to the language.
The compiler is written in TypeScript and runs on Node.
You can build the compiler and run a few small programs by typing make test (if you have npm).
Check out the code documentation for an introduction to the compiler's internals.
To get started, make sure you have Node and clone the repository. The included Makefile should build everything, or you can type these commands to use npm to get things ready:
$ npm install
$ npm run build
The latter produces the parser and compiles the source code with TypeScript's tsc command. Then, you might want to run:
$ npm link
to install an alias to the ssc command. Then, type:
$ ssc --help
to see some options. In particular, run ssc example.ss to interpret programs; run ssc -c example.ss to compile programs to JavaScript; and run ssc -cx example.ss to compile programs and then execute the resulting JavaScript.
