Fennel is a programming language that brings together the speed,
|
|
|
|
|
simplicity, and reach of Lua with the flexibility of a lisp syntax and
|
|
|
|
|
macro system.

|
|
|
* Full Lua compatibilty: Easily call any Lua function or library from
|
|
|
|
|
Fennel and vice-versa.
|
|
|
|
|
* Zero overhead: Compiled code should be just as or more efficient
|
|
|
|
|
than hand-written Lua.
|
|
|
|
|
* Compile-time macros: Ship compiled code with no runtime dependency
|
|
|
|
|
on Fennel.
|
|
|
|
|
* Embeddable: Fennel is a one-file library as well as an
|
|
|
|
|
* executable. Embed it in other programs to support runtime
|
|
|
|
|
* extensibility and interactive development.

Anywhere you can run Lua code, you can run Fennel code.

|
|
|
export LUAVER="vers"
|
|
|
|

separated with space.

After installation there are one or more fennel executable files for the
|

|
|
|
equivalent versions of Lua.
