BORON(1)

📦 version 2.1.0, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

🌸 BORON(1) 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the boron manual page — this is boron 2.1.0, and honestly it's giving "tiny interpreter, big main character energy." 💅

✨ NAME ✨

boron — the Boron language interpreter 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

boron [OPTIONS] [SCRIPT [ARGUMENTS]]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So like, Boron is an interpreted, prototype-based, scripting language — and yes it's similar to Rebol, if you know, you know (iykyk 😌).

Here's the vibe check: if you don't give it a script filename or an -e argument, it just pops open an interactive command prompt for you. Like a little REPL bestie that's always down to chat. 🫶

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -e exp — evaluate an expression. one (1) expression, straight to the point, no script file needed ✨
  • -h — show help and exit. the classic "please tell me what's going on" move 🙈
  • -p — disable the command prompt and exit when an exception is thrown. lowkey the "no small talk, just tell me when something breaks" mode 💀
  • -s — disable security checks and allow full system access to scripts. ⚠️ okay so by default the program will prompt the user when scripts write to files or open network sockets — and -s just... turns all that off. full system access. no questions. so like, be careful, bestie, that's a lot of power 😭🔥
🚨 -s is the one where you reeeeally want to know what your script does before you run it. it disables the security checks and grants full system access. no cap, that's serious.
