Rye is a high-level, dynamic programming language inspired by Rebol, Factor, Linux shells, and Go. It features a Go-based interpreter and interactive console, making it an excellent scripting companion for Go programs. Rye can also be embedded into Go applications as a scripting or configuration language. Key characteristics: - **Homoiconic**: Code is data, data is code - **Function-oriented**: No keywords, everything is a function call - **Expression-based**: Everything returns a value - **First-class functions**: Functions and code blocks are values - **Multiple dialects**: Specialized interpreters for different tasks - **Safety-focused**: Explicit state changes, pure/impure function separation, validation dialect **Status**: Alpha - Core language design is stable, focus is on improving runtime, documentation, and usability. ## Quick Examples ```red print "Hello World" "Hello World" .replace "World" "Mars" |print ; prints: Hello Mars "12 8 12 16 8 6" .load .unique .sum ; returns: 42 { "Anne" "Joan" "Adam" } |filter { .first = "A" } |for { .print } ; prints: ; Anne ; Adam fac: fn { x } { either x = 1 { 1 } { x * fac x - 1 } } ; function that calculates factorial range 1 10 |map { .fac } |print\csv ; prints: 1,2,6,24,120,720,5040,40320,362880,3628800 kind: "admin" open sqlite://data.db |query { select * from user where kind = ?kind } ; returns: Table of admins read %name.txt |fix { "Anonymous" } |post* https://example.com/postname 'text ; makes HTTP post of the name read from a file, or "Anonymous" if file failed to be read ``` For more examples and interactive demos, visit [ryelang.org/meet_rye/](https://ryelang.org/meet_rye/) ## Building Rye from Source ### Prerequisites 1. Install Go 1.21.5 or later: ```bash # Example for Linux wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.21.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.21.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin go version ``` 2. For packages requiring cgo (like SQLite): ```bash # For Debian/Ubuntu sudo apt install build-essential # For macOS xcode-select --install # For Windows # Install MinGW or MSYS2 ``` ### Clone and Build 1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/refaktor/rye.git cd rye ``` 2. Build options: - **Minimal build** (fewer modules, smaller binary): ```bash go build -tags "b_tiny" -o bin/rye ``` - **Standard build** (most modules included): ```bash go build -o bin/rye # or simply ./build ``` - **Custom build** (select specific modules): ```bash go build -tags "b_tiny,b_sqlite,b_http,b_json" -o bin/rye ``` 3. Run Rye: ```bash # Run the REPL bin/rye # Run a script bin/rye script.rye ``` ### Building WASM Version Rye can run in browsers and other WASM environments: ```bash GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build -tags "b_tiny" -o wasm/rye.wasm main_wasm.go # or use the helper script ./buildwasm # Then visit http://localhost:8085/ryeshell/ ``` ### Running Tests ```bash cd tests ../bin/rye main.rye test # Generate function reference ../bin/rye main.rye doc ``` ## Getting Rye (Pre-built) If you prefer not to build from source, you have several options: ### Binaries Pre-compiled binaries for **Linux**, **macOS**, **Windows**, and **WASM** are available under [Releases](https://github.com/refaktor/rye/releases). ### Package Managers - **Homebrew** (macOS/Linux): ```bash brew install ryelang ``` ### Docker Images - **Binary image** (includes Rye and Emacs-nox): ```bash docker run -ti ghcr.io/refaktor/rye ``` - **Development image** (build from repository): ```bash docker build -t refaktor/rye -f .docker/Dockerfile . docker run -ti refaktor/rye ``` ## Resources - **[ryelang.org](https://ryelang.org/)** - Official documentation, tutorials, and examples - **[Blog](https://ryelang.org/blog/)** - Latest updates and development news - **[Examples folder](./examples/)** - Code examples and demos - **[Asciinema demos](https://asciinema.org/a/647708)** - Interactive terminal demos ## Extensions and Related Projects - **[Rye-fyne](https://github.com/refaktor/rye-fyne)** - GUI toolkit binding - **[Rye-gio](https://github.com/refaktor/rye-gio)** - Gioui toolkit binding (WIP) - **[Rye-ebitengine](https://github.com/refaktor/rye-ebitengine)** - 2D game engine binding (WIP) - **[ryegen](https://github.com/refaktor/ryegen)** - Binding generation toolkit (WIP) ## Editor Support - **VS Code**: Search for "ryelang" in the Extension marketplace - **Emacs**: Syntax highlighting available soon ## Community and Contact - **[GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/refaktor/rye/discussions)** - **[Reddit](https://reddit.com/r/ryelang/)** - **[Issues](https://github.com/refaktor/rye/issues)** - **Email**: janko.itm+rye[at]gmail.com - **Twitter**: [@refaktor](https://twitter.com/refaktor) ", Assign "at most 3 tags" to the expected json: {"id":"8814","tags":[]} "only from the tags list I provide: [{"id":77,"name":"3d"},{"id":89,"name":"agent"},{"id":17,"name":"ai"},{"id":54,"name":"algorithm"},{"id":24,"name":"api"},{"id":44,"name":"authentication"},{"id":3,"name":"aws"},{"id":27,"name":"backend"},{"id":60,"name":"benchmark"},{"id":72,"name":"best-practices"},{"id":39,"name":"bitcoin"},{"id":37,"name":"blockchain"},{"id":1,"name":"blog"},{"id":45,"name":"bundler"},{"id":58,"name":"cache"},{"id":21,"name":"chat"},{"id":49,"name":"cicd"},{"id":4,"name":"cli"},{"id":64,"name":"cloud-native"},{"id":48,"name":"cms"},{"id":61,"name":"compiler"},{"id":68,"name":"containerization"},{"id":92,"name":"crm"},{"id":34,"name":"data"},{"id":47,"name":"database"},{"id":8,"name":"declarative-gui "},{"id":9,"name":"deploy-tool"},{"id":53,"name":"desktop-app"},{"id":6,"name":"dev-exp-lib"},{"id":59,"name":"dev-tool"},{"id":13,"name":"ecommerce"},{"id":26,"name":"editor"},{"id":66,"name":"emulator"},{"id":62,"name":"filesystem"},{"id":80,"name":"finance"},{"id":15,"name":"firmware"},{"id":73,"name":"for-fun"},{"id":2,"name":"framework"},{"id":11,"name":"frontend"},{"id":22,"name":"game"},{"id":81,"name":"game-engine "},{"id":23,"name":"graphql"},{"id":84,"name":"gui"},{"id":91,"name":"http"},{"id":5,"name":"http-client"},{"id":51,"name":"iac"},{"id":30,"name":"ide"},{"id":78,"name":"iot"},{"id":40,"name":"json"},{"id":83,"name":"julian"},{"id":38,"name":"k8s"},{"id":31,"name":"language"},{"id":10,"name":"learning-resource"},{"id":33,"name":"lib"},{"id":41,"name":"linter"},{"id":28,"name":"lms"},{"id":16,"name":"logging"},{"id":76,"name":"low-code"},{"id":90,"name":"message-queue"},{"id":42,"name":"mobile-app"},{"id":18,"name":"monitoring"},{"id":36,"name":"networking"},{"id":7,"name":"node-version"},{"id":55,"name":"nosql"},{"id":57,"name":"observability"},{"id":46,"name":"orm"},{"id":52,"name":"os"},{"id":14,"name":"parser"},{"id":74,"name":"react"},{"id":82,"name":"real-time"},{"id":56,"name":"robot"},{"id":65,"name":"runtime"},{"id":32,"name":"sdk"},{"id":71,"name":"search"},{"id":63,"name":"secrets"},{"id":25,"name":"security"},{"id":85,"name":"server"},{"id":86,"name":"serverless"},{"id":70,"name":"storage"},{"id":75,"name":"system-design"},{"id":79,"name":"terminal"},{"id":29,"name":"testing"},{"id":12,"name":"ui"},{"id":50,"name":"ux"},{"id":88,"name":"video"},{"id":20,"name":"web-app"},{"id":35,"name":"web-server"},{"id":43,"name":"webassembly"},{"id":69,"name":"workflow"},{"id":87,"name":"yaml"}]" returns me the "expected json"
