This is the main repository of the stark programming language.

The repository is in a prototyping stage and is going through multiple phase of prototypes.

A first functional prototype was using a fork of Roslyn and the code is now only available in the branch: roslyn-fork-prototype

The next iteration of the prototype will be more disruptive and so can't reuse Roslyn.

You can find more details about this project in the following blog post series:

• The Odyssey of Stark and Melody
• Stark - Language And Frontend Compiler - Prototype 2019

You need to have Visual Studio Code installed.

• Open the folder src/ide/vscode/stark with Visual Studio Code
• Run the build task via the menu Terminal/Run Build Task... (or CTRL+SHIFT+B on Windows).
  • If the build is failing, it could be a misconfiguration of npm/tsc. Open a terminal from VSCode and run the command npm install -g typescript. Check that tsc --version is running fine (you should have a version above 3.x or more)
• Press F5 and it should open a new Visual Studio Code instance with the syntax highlighting for Stark and a pseudo integration with a compiler server (nothing is actually plugged there).
• With this new Visual Studio Code instance, open the folder src/runtime and you should be able to play with the syntax/language by changing the core library.
