Setup and Zowerenga

Follow the setup documentations at official site

You can check out examples in ./examples folder to quickly see what the language can do for now.

Building

Prerequisites

• TinyGo: If you are building the web assembly version you will need TinyGo, hers is the setup
• GNU make (optional): Using make for building. You can build the project without make.

Builing/running

You can build the project by running any of the build make tasks

make build

Or you can run go build directly

go build -C ./src/cmd/duwa -o ../../../bin/duwa

Running the project is the same either use make or go directly
