# fur Fur is a programming language for the next millenium. In 1000 years, humans will likely still like furry animals, so Fur is named in their honor. ## Installation 1. Create and activate a virtual environment with Python 3. On most systems, this will look something like `python3 -m venv .env/ && .env/bin/activate`. 2. Install dependencies from `requirements.txt` using `pip`: `pip install -r requirements.txt`. 3. That's all! ## Integration tests To run the unit tests, run `python integration_tests.py`. You can test just the output of the examples or just the memory usage of the tests by running `python integration_tests.py OutputTests` or `python integration_tests.py MemoryLeakTests` respectively. # Running Example Fur programs are in the `examples/` folder. The main compiler (`main.py`) compiles Fur programs to C. An example of usage: ~/fur$ python main.py examples/01_hello.fur ~/fur$ gcc examples/01_hello.fur.c ~/fur$ ./a.out Hello, world~/fur$ ## Disclaimers Fur is GPL 3 and will only ever target GPL compilers. Fur supports closures, integer math, boolean logic, lists, structures (similar to objects), and strings (implemented as [ropes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_(data_structure))). It doesn't yet support exceptions, multithreading, modules, or anything resembling a standard library. If that sounds like something you want to use in production code, good luck to you.
