The primary repository has moved to git.rosseaux.net/BeRo1985/poca. This GitHub repository is kept up-to-date via push mirroring.

POCA

Yet another scripting language that is still in the design phase - for example, its syntax and built-in standard library are not finalized yet.

Documentation

• Syntax
• Stdlib

You can also find many short examples of language features and various POCA idioms in the examples directory.

Dependencies

To build POCA the following dependencies are required:

• FLRE for its regular expression support
• PUCU for its Unicode strings and conversions
• PasMP for its multithreading support
• PasJSON for its JSON support
• pasdblstrutils for its double-precision floating point number and string conversion support

Compilation

Either Delphi >= 7 or FreePascal >= 3.0 is required to build POCA.

Here's how to clone the repo and build POCA using the FreePascal compiler:

# clone
git clone https://github.com/BeRo1985/poca.git

cd poca

# clone dependencies
git submodule init
git submodule update --remote --recursive

# build POCA directly using fpc
fpc -B -O3 -g -gl pocarun.dpr

# or build POCA using Lazarus (adapt the paths to your fpc and lazarus paths)
~/fpcupdeluxe/lazarus/lazbuild --pcp="${HOME}/fpcupdeluxe/config_lazarus" --os=linux -B src/pocarun.lpi

# run a script (ctrl-c to abort)
bin/poca examples/donut.poca

# run POCA's REPL (ctrl-c or ctrl-d to exit)
bin/poca
