A hands-on introduction to Solod (So) — a subset of Go that translates to C.
This repo contains small examples that show individual language, concurrency, stdlib, and safety features, as well as larger apps that demonstrate how everything fits together.

To run a specific example locally, use the so run command. For example:
so run lang/05-for
so run apps/head -n 4 data/jenny.txt
You'll need to have a C compiler installed and available as cc, or you can set a custom compiler by using the CC environment variable.
To see the generated C code, use the so translate command. For example:
so translate -o lang/05-for/generated lang/05-for
