<h2>Wren CLI</h2>
|

<hr />
|
|
<h2>What is it? <a href="#what-is-it" name="what-is-it" class="header-anchor">#</a></h2>
|
|
<p><strong>The Wren Command-Line Interface</strong> is a tool you can run which gives you a way to run Wren code, and
|
|
also includes modules for talking to the operating system—file IO,
|
|
networking, stuff like that. It depends on <a href="http://libuv.org/">libuv</a> for that
|
|
functionality.</p>
|
|
<p>Wren as a language is intentionally designed to be minimal. <br />
|
|
That includes the built in language features, the standard library and the VM itself.</p>
|
|
<p>In order to access files, networks and other IO, you’d need to make a tool <em>using</em> the language VM.
|
|
That’s what the CLI project is! It is not bundled as part of the wren project,
|
|
instead it is its own project as a standalone tool you can run.
|
|
It exposes its own standard library and modules that may be of interest
|
|
if looking for a general purpose single binary scriptable tool.</p>
|
|
<p>Wren CLI is a work in progress, and contributions are welcome to make it more useful over time.</p>
|
|
<h2>Why does it exist? <a href="#why-does-it-exist" name="why-does-it-exist" class="header-anchor">#</a></h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>It’s fun to make things.</li>
|
|
<li>It’s always a good idea to test the language you’re making!</li>
|
|
<li>Interest was expressed in a scriptable tool using the Wren language.</li>
|
|
<li>It’s helpful for others to learn from, since it is a real world usage example showing several concepts.</li>
