1 # Tea Language

     2 

     3 **Tea** is an experimental DSL based on Smalltalk language that compiles 

     4 statically to (optimized) machine code. It depends on LLVM toolchain to 

     5 actually optimize and generate target machine code. 

     6 

     7 ## Prerequisites

     8 

     9 * An x96_64 Linux box

    10 * GNU Make & C++ compiler (GCC / Clang would do it)

    11 * LLVM *3.8* installation - requires libLLVM.so shared library

    12 

    13 ## Loading into Smalltalk/X

    14 

    15 **1.** Get [Smalltalk/X jv-branch](https://swing.fit.cvut.cz/projects/stx-jv/) (preferably a night build).

    16 

    17 **2.** Clone *Tea*, *Ring* and *LLVM-S* repositories

    18 

    19 ```

    20 #!bash

    21     mkdir -p ~/SmalltalkXProjects/jv

    22     mkdir -p ~/SmalltalkXProjects/stx/goodies

    23     hg clone https://bitbucket.org/janvrany/stx-goodies-ring ~/SmalltalkXProjects/stx/goodies/ring

    24     hg clone https://bitbucket.org/janvrany/jv-llvm-s ~/SmalltalkXProjects/jv/llvm_s

    25     hg clone https://bitbucket.org/janvrany/jv-tea ~/SmalltalkXProjects/jv/tea

    26 ```

    27 

    28 **3.** Compile LLVM C Extension library

    29 

    30 ```

    31 #!bash

    32     cd ~/SmalltalkXProjects/jv/llvm_s/llvm_c_ext

    33     make LLVM_CONFIG=~/path/to/llvm-3.8/bin/llvm-config

    34 ```

    35 

    36 **4.** Load the package into Smalltalk/X 

    37 ```

    38 #!smalltalk

    39     Smalltalk loadPackage: 'stx:goodies/ring'.

    40     Smalltalk loadPackage: 'jv:llvm_s'.

    41     Smalltalk loadPackage: 'jv:tea/compiler'.

    42     Smalltalk loadPackage: 'jv:tea/compiler/cli'.

    43 ```

    44 

    45 ## Documentation 

    46 

    47 * [Project wiki](https://bitbucket.org/janvrany/jv-tea/wiki/Home)

    48 

    49 But do not expect much - it's more of an unsorted list of comments and thoughts

    50 rather than documentation or even 'language specification'.
