Ale is a Lisp Environment for Go applications

How To Install

Make sure your GOPATH is set, then run go install to install the command line tool.

go install github.com/kode4food/ale/cmd/ale@latest

You can also install it from the cloned repository using make.

make install

How To Run A Source File

Once you've installed the package, you can run it from GOPATH/bin like so:

ale somefile.ale
# or
cat somefile.ale | ale
## or
ale <<EOF
(let [ch (chan)]
  (go (: ch :emit "Hello")
      (: ch :emit "Ale!")
      (: ch :close))

  (apply println (ch :seq)))
EOF

How To Start The REPL

Ale has a very crude Read-Eval-Print Loop that will be more than happy to start if you invoke ale with no arguments from your shell.

Current Status

Still a work in progress. Use at your own risk.
