Now, the downside is that after finally getting this grammar working I find that I can't PR to GitHub linguistic, the requirement for GitHub syntax highlighting, until I have 200+ repos using #morloc code. So ... back to community building.

Highlighted morloc code and oh so loverly concrete syntax tree
To update, Tree-sitter grammar is now fully working. All code in the #morloc test suite passes the grammar without error.
Feast your eyes on this colorful code and sexy tree:

Usage statements generated for two command line tools (one that displays a calendar and one that rolls dice). The two command lines tools are composed into a single tool exporting the pooled arguments.
Composable command line interface tools with #morloc!

Just needs a little cleaning and testing. Next I can do a little PR to GitHub and then will finally have colors in my repo code. This also can be used in editors like Zed and Neovim.

🌟 Huge thanks to everyone who joined the first virtual #morloc #hackathon yesterday!
We spent the day beta-testing the Morloc language, smoothing out install issues and running our first programs together.
🚀 Morloc execution is now tested on Linux, MacOS, and Windows (via WSL)!

Sharing the #morloc language! Compose functions across languages under a common type system. In #bioinformatics, build better workflows by switching from the file/application-based paradigm to a native function paradigm. Looking for adventurous first adopters!
