💅 WMU(1) — EN Tools

okay bestie, buckle up, because we're talking about WMU(1), the Website META Language Upgrade Utility — and yes, the DEPRECATED! is part of the actual name, it's literally in the title, the exclamation mark too. this page ships in the EN Tools manual section (1), so that's the vibe from the jump. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

WMu — the Website META Language Upgrade Utility, and, say it with me: (DEPRECATED!). it's giving retired icon tbqh. 💀

🌈 VERSION 🌈

2.32.0 — that's the number, don't @ me, it's what the page says. 🦋

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

wmu

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags, no arguments, no subcommands. just the one word. honestly iconic minimalism. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea, bestie: this used to be the upgrade utility for the Website META Language. past tense. used to be. 😭

wmu, the wml upgrade utility, has been deprecated. not "might be", not "kinda is" — it's done, it's over, it's logged off. no cap.

so what do you do instead? the page is very clear on this, and I need you to follow it exactly:

just go to https://github.com/thewml/website-meta-language/releases and download the latest source tarball, then build and install it using cmake. ✨

or — and this is the lowkey easiest path — use your operating system's package manager. slay. 🫶

like, the manual is literally telling you to go somewhere else. it's not even being subtle about it. it's pointing at the door. 💅

no hidden options to dig through, no environment variables to memorize, no config files to hunt down — because there are none listed here. the whole description is basically "bestie, this is a museum piece, the real stuff lives at that URL." 🦋
