Rune

Rune is a markdown like language which can compile down to bytecode to render a terminal CLI

How Rune compiles

The process is just like any regular programming language and is separated into 4 phases:

• Lexer (Tokenization)

• Parsing (Building the AST)

• Semantic Analysis (Validating the AST)

• Execution

Setup development environment

    python3 -m venv venv

    source ./venv/bin/activate

    # If requirements NOT up to date
    pip freeze > requirements.txt

    pip install -r requirements.txt

    # install rune library locally with current pulled version
    pip install -e .

    # runs thie .rune file specified in this file
    python3 main.py

Future implementations

• Have a live preview editor open up on browser
• Add custom elements which users can make:
  • Ex: Adding an image
    • importing: add 'image' to add an image block
    • to use it would look like: image[]
• Add theme support:
  • Ex: theme 'name' to add the theme with specified name
