and the only way to get feedback on it is by throwing it at a newbie
no point asking me if stuff is left unexplained, too slow, badly worded, or whatever
actually, I kind of like the idea that the README.md could have a basic intro, I mean make it a lot more extensive
its the first thing people look at right?
first error was forgot the semicolon
lol
seriously
I once had a job 2 hours out of the city, and I got a call “the program isn’t printing”
so i drove out there and sure enough .. the printer wasn’t plugged in to the power
so Roger: the idea is that like python you just run the source code
or Javascript
one step
so if you want to actually produce an executable its extra switches on the command line
Felix is a scripting language
it just happens to compile to binary instead of bytecode
Also Felix builds libraries not programs
what you think is a program is just the side effect of initialising a library
and the default compilation is to build a shared library
question can you also build dynamically linked executables?
what if you want to keep the file size as small as possible?
when you build dynamic, you get a static link executable
its quite small .. about 3 lines of code
all it does is dynamic link the library you built, which dynamic links the Felix RTL
so technically yes, it builds a dynamic link executable every time by default
but that doesn’t include your program
it just links to the shared library which contains your program
so basically there are two models: everything is dynamic link or everything is static link
BTW: just to confuse you .. Felix can build CPython modules too
Python 3 only
