If you're wondering what Passerine is all about, here's a brief overview of the language and it's (planned) features

An Overview of Passerine ↗

Downloading Passerine is quick and easy. Just run the following in the shell of your choice:

sh 

This script just pulls the latest version of Passerine, builds it from source, and adds it to your $PATH. Give it a read before running it if you'd like!

In the future, we plan to distribute prebuilt binaries, but for now, both Git and Cargo are required.

To create and run a new Passerine project, again, in your favorite shell:

aspen new hello-passerine
cd hello-passerine
aspen run
