Welcome to the JOCKY community

Welcome to the JOCKY community — the place to ask questions, share what you're building, discuss language and compiler design, and help shape the future of JOCKY and its forensic-first tooling.

JOCKY is a forensic-first systems programming language and compiler designed around security, traceability, low-level control, and practical digital forensics.

Whether you're experimenting with JOCKY, building forensic tooling, working on the compiler, or exploring systems programming, you're welcome here.

Where to post

Category	Use it for
🙏 Q&A	"How do I…?" questions, compiler errors, language semantics, setup problems, and debugging
💡 Ideas	Language features, standard library additions, compiler improvements, forensic capabilities, tooling, and workflow ideas
🙌 Show and tell	Projects, forensic tools, libraries, experiments, benchmarks, and applications built with JOCKY
📣 Announcements	JOCKY releases, major compiler updates, ecosystem news, and important project announcements (maintainers only)
💬 General	Discussions about JOCKY, systems programming, compiler development, digital forensics, and anything else related to the project

Before you post

• Search first. Your question may already have an answer.
• Include your version. Paste the output of jocky --version or ferc --version, depending on the tool you're using.
• Share a small example. The shortest source file or code snippet that reproduces the problem gets the fastest answer.
• Include relevant compiler output. Error messages, warnings, stack traces, and generated output can make debugging much easier.
• Mark the answer. In Q&A, mark the solution that resolved your problem so others can find it later.

Discussions or Issues?

• Found a compiler bug? A crash, incorrect code generation, broken semantic analysis, or unexpected compiler behavior → open an issue.
• Not sure whether it's a bug, or have a question or idea? → start a discussion here. We'll convert it to an issue if needed.
• Found a security vulnerability? Please don't disclose it publicly. Report it privately through the repository's Security tab.

Be kind

Everyone was a beginner once.

Ask questions, share ideas, and help others learn. Keep discussions focused on the code, tools, and ideas — not the person.

Hostile, harassing, discriminatory, or spam content may be removed.

When discussing security or forensic research, please also avoid posting sensitive personal information, real-world evidence, credentials, or material that you do not have permission to disclose.
