Get Started with Skuf

brew tap skuf-lang/tap https://github.com/skuf-lang/homebrew-tap
brew install skuf

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skuf-lang/skuf/main/install.sh | sh

git clone https://github.com/skuf-lang/skuf.git
cd skuf && make -C stage0

Verify the installation:

$ skuf --version
skuf 0.0.15

$ norm init myapp
created .norm
created src/main.skf

$ cd myapp

pkg myapp 0.1.0
entry src/main.skf

mod main

fn main:
  >> "Hello from norm!"

Or skip the package manager and create a standalone file — no project scaffolding required.

Skuf keeps syntax minimal. Expression-body functions, pipes, and built-in tests — all in a few lines.

mod main

fn double(x) = x * 2
fn add_one(x) = x + 1

fn main:
  result := 5 |> double |> add_one
  >> "result = ${result}"

tst "pipes work":
  !! double(3) == 6
  !! add_one(0) == 1
  !! (5 |> double |> add_one) == 11

$ skuf run src/main.skf
result = 11

$ skuf build -o myapp src/main.skf
$ ./myapp
result = 11

$ skuf test src/main.skf
PASS "pipes work" (3/3)

With a norm project, just use norm run, norm build, and norm test — no file path needed.
