💖 NAME 💖

futhark-repl — the interactive Futhark read-eval-print-loop, aka your new bestie (this page lives in the Futhark manual, hi bestie 🌸)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

futhark repl [program.fut]

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

okay so. futhark repl starts an interactive Futhark session 💅 and bestie, it's giving main character energy because you get to type expressions and declarations straight in and they get immediately interpreted. no compile step, no waiting, just vibes ✨

One lil thing to know, and it's important: if the line you typed could be read as either a declaration or an expression, it is assumed to be a declaration. That's just how it is, no cap. And the input has to fit on a single line — sorry babe, no multi-line masterpieces here 😭.

You can load real Futhark source files with the :load command 🎀 — but heads up, that erases any interactively entered definitions. Gone. Poof. So save the stuff you love first, fr fr.

Use :help to see the full list of commands 👑. Every single command is prefixed with a colon, that's the whole vibe, iykyk.

Also, futhark repl uses the Futhark interpreter, which means you get access to the #[trace] and #[break] attributes 🔥. See futhark-run for the deets on those.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h — print help text to standard output and exit 🫶
  • -V — print version information on standard output and exit 🎀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • futhark-run
  • futhark-test
💀 friendly reminder from the vibes department: :load wipes your interactive definitions. mourn accordingly.
