This change eliminates the scope-based symbol table. Because we now require that all module, type, function, and variable elements are encoded as fully qualified tokens, there is no need for the scope-based lookups. Instead, the languages themselves decide how the names bind to locations and just encode that information directly. The scope is still required for local variables, however, since those don't have a well-defined "fixed" notion of name. This is also how we will ensure the evaluator stores values correctly -- including discarding them -- in a lexically scoped manner. |

Mu
Mu is a framework and toolset for creating reusable stacks of services.
If you are learning about Mu for the first time, please see the overview document.
Building and Testing
To build Mu, first clone it into a standard Go workspace:
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/marapongo
$ git clone git@github.com:marapongo/mu $GOPATH/src/github.com/marapongo/mu
A good default value for GOPATH
is ~/go
.
Mu needs to know where to look for its runtime, library, etc. By default, it will look in /usr/local/mu
, however you
can override this with the MUPATH
variable. Normally it's easiest just to create a symlink:
$ ln -s $GOPATH/src/github.com/marapongo/mu /usr/local/mu
There is one additional build-time dependency, golint
, which can be installed using:
$ go get -u github.com/golang/lint/golint
And placed on your path by:
$ export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
At this point you should be able to build and run tests from the root directory:
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/marapongo/mu
$ make
This installs the mu
binary into $GOPATH/bin
, which may now be run provided make
exited successfully.
