# Tomo - Tomorrow's Language
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tomo is a programming language designed to anticipate and influence the
|
|
|
|
|
language design decisions of the future.

## Dependencies
|

|
|
|
Tomo has a very small set of dependencies:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The [Boehm garbage collector](https://www.hboehm.info/gc/) for runtime
|
|
|
|
|
garbage collection.
|
|
|
|
|
- [libunistring](https://www.gnu.org/software/libunistring/) for unicode
|
|
|
|
|
string support.
|
|
|
|
|
- a C compiler
|
|
|
|
|
- and libc/libm, which should definitely already be installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both of which should be available on your package manager of choice (for
|
|
|
|
|
example, `pacman -S gc libunistring`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Tomo compiler can be compiled with either GCC or Clang by running `make`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can run a Tomo program by running `./tomo program.tm`. By default, this
|
|
|
|
|
will use your environment's `$CC` variable to select which C compiler to use.
|
|
|
|
|
If no C compiler is specified, it will default to `tcc` (Tiny C Compiler),
|
|
|
|
|
which is exceptionally fast.
