CURRY-FRONTEND(1)

💖 NAME 💖

curry-frontend — bestie, this is the lexer, parser, type checker and honestly the entire backstage crew for the Curry programming language. she does it all. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

curry-frontend [OPTIONS] ... MODULES ...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the Curry Frontend is literally just one executable program, and it's called curry-frontend. various backends pull up and use it to compile programs written in the functional logic language Curry into all kinds of intermediate representations. she's the plug fr fr. 💅
