Quick Start Guide

This guide gets you writing Thorn code in under five minutes. It assumes you have already installed Thorn. If not, see the Installation Guide first.

Create a file called hello.th:

write("hello world")

Compile and run it:

thorn build hello.th
./hello

You should see hello world printed to the terminal.

Variables need no declaration keyword. Tasks are defined with task and return with send.

name = "Thorn"

task greet(n) {
    write(v"hello {n}")
}

greet(name)
