The Paisley Compiler

A grindy javascript precompiler created to provide zero-cost abstractions and added user convenience.

Installation

Install Paisley like you would any other node module.

$ npm i paisley -g

Usage

Paisley is run with the syntax paisley [file.sly] options.

$ paisley example.sly --debug true

Syntax

Paisley uses a clean, c-style syntax for writing javascript. Here is a simple example:

#define constant [300]
#macro add[x, y] [x + y]

console.log(add(constant, 200)); // Logs "500"

Errors

Paisley values highly readable error messages.

This allow users to catch mistakes at compile-time instead of runtime in a manner that is easier to debug.

Documentation

Paisley's documentation is included with the compiler, and can be located using paisley --docs.

Licensing
