- Marlais is a simple-minded interpreter for a programming language
- strongly resembling Dylan [1]. It is not intended as a final release,
- but rather to fill a perceived void where Dylan implementations are
- concerned. This is a "hackers release" and is intended as a vehicle
- for education, experimentation and also to encourage people to port it
- to different architectures, add features, and fix bugs. Marlais is
- alpha software and should not be used by people desiring
- reliability!!!
-
- ***NOTE***
- The interpreter will read, evaluate, and print a sequence of semicolon
- terminated Dylan expressions.
-
- The normal interpreter prompt is the symbol `?'.
- If an incomplete expression has been entered, the interpreter prints
- a continuation prompt `>'.
-
- If you type a non-semicolon terminated expression at the interpreter,
- you will see the continuation prompt. This is your cue to finish up
- with a semicolon. Here's an example:
-
- ? 1 + 3
- > ;
- 4
