+ # Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
2
+
3
+ ## Our Pledge
4
+
5
+ In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
6
+ contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
7
+ our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
8
+ size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
9
+ nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and
10
+ orientation.
11
+
12
+ ## Our Standards
13
+
14
+ Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
15
+ include:
16
+
17
+ * Using welcoming and inclusive language
18
+ * Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
19
+ * Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
20
+ * Focusing on what is best for the community
21
+ * Showing empathy towards other community members
22
+
23
+ Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
24
+
25
+ * The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
26
+ advances
27
+ * Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
28
+ * Public or private harassment
29
+ * Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
30
+ address, without explicit permission
31
+ * Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
32
+ professional setting
33
+
34
+ ## Our Responsibilities
35
+
36
+ Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
37
+ behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
38
+ response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
39
+
40
+ Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
41
+ reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
42
+ that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
43
+ permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
44
+ threatening, offensive, or harmful.
45
+
46
+ ## Scope
47
+
48
+ This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
49
+ when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
50
+ representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
51
+ address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
52
+ representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
53
+ further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
54
+
55
+ ## Enforcement
56
+
57
+ Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
58
+ reported by contacting the project team at laurent@moldus.org. All
59
+ complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
60
+ is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
61
+ obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
62
+ Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
63
+
64
+ Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
65
+ faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
66
+ members of the project's leadership.
67
+

+ ## Attribution

+ This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage], version 1.4,

104
+ 2.2. Effective Date
105

108
+ distributes such Contribution.
109
+
110
+ 2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
111
+
112
+ The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under

+ this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
114
+ distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.

127
+ its Contributions.
128
+
129
+ This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
130
+ or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
131
+ the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
132
+
133
+ 2.4. Subsequent Licenses
134
+
135
+ No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to

+ distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this

+ License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
138
+ permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
139
+
140
+ 2.5. Representation
141
+
142
+ Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
143
+ Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
144
+ to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
145
+
146
+ 2.6. Fair Use
147
+
148
+ This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
149
+ applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
150
+ equivalents.
151
+
152
+ 2.7. Conditions
153
+
154
+ Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
155
+ in Section 2.1.
156
+
157
+ 3. Responsibilities
158
+ -------------------
159
+
160
+ 3.1. Distribution of Source Form
161
+
162
+ All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
163
+ Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
164
+ the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
165
+ Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
166
+ License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
167
+ attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
168
+ Form.
169
+
170
+ 3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
171
+
172
+ If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
173
+
174
+ (a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
175
+ Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
176
+ the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
177
+ Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
178
+ than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
179
+
180
+ (b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
181
+ License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
182
+ license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
183
+ the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
184
+
185
+ 3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
186
+
187
+ You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
188
+ provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
189
+ the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
190
+ Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
191
+ Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
192
+ License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
193
+ under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
194
+ the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
195
+ Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
196
+ License(s).
197
+
198
+ 3.4. Notices
199
+
200
+ You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
201
+ (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
202
+ or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
203
+ the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
204
+ the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
205
+
206
+ 3.5. Application of Additional Terms
207
+
208
+ You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
209
+ indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
210
+ Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
211
+ behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
212
+ such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
213
+ You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
214
+ liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
215
+ indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
216
+ disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
217
+ jurisdiction.
218
+
219
+ 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
220
+ ---------------------------------------------------
221
+
222
+ If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
223
+ License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
224
+ statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
225
+ the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
226
+ describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
227
+ be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
228
+ Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
229
+ or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
230
+ recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
231
+
232
+ 5. Termination
233
+ --------------
234
+
235
+ 5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
236
+ if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
237
+ compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
238
+ Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
239
+ Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
240
+ ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
241
+ non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
242
+ come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
243
+ Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
244
+ notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
245
+ first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
246
+ from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
247
+ Your receipt of the notice.
248
+
249
+ 5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
250
+ infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
251
+ counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
252
+ directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
253
+ You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
254
+ 2.1 of this License shall terminate.
255
+
256
+ 5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
257
+ end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
258
+ have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
259
+ prior to termination shall survive termination.

+ # Rlang : a (subset of) Ruby to WebAssembly compiler
2
+
3
+ Rlang is meant to create fast and uncluttered [WebAssembly](https://webassembly.org) code from the comfort of the Ruby language.
4
+
5
+ Rlang actually two things: 1) a subset of the Ruby language and 2) a **compiler** transforming this Ruby subset in a valid, fully runnable and native WebAssembly module.
6
+
7
+ Rlang can be seen as a foundational language that can help you quickly develop and debug high performance WebAssembly modules. For the rationale behind the creation of Rlang see [below](#why-rlang).
8
+
9
+ What you'll find in the current version is a first implementation of Rlang. It will improve over time, with more facilities and probably more Ruby features but always with the goal to generate crisp and uncluttered WAT code.
10
+
11
+ ## Dependencies
12
+
13
+ * **WABT toolit**: the rlang compiler can generate both WebAssembly source code (WAT file) and WebAssembly bytecode (WASM file). To generate WASM bytecode the rlang compiler uses wat2wasm. This utility is part of the [WABT toolkit](https://github.com/WebAssembly/wabt)
14
+ * **wasmer runtime** (optional): [Wasmer](https://wasmer.io/) is a fast WebAssembly runtime. You'll need it if you want to run the test suite from the source repo. You can also use it to run the compiled WASM code generated by the rlang compiler. You can get Wasmer at [wasmer.io](https://wasmer.io/)
15
+
16
+
17
+ ## Installing Rlang
18
+ Rlang is available as a gem from rubygems.org. So simply run the following command to install it:
19
+
20
+ ```
21
+ $ gem install rlang
22
+ ```
23
+ Alternatively, if you clone this git repo and play with the Rlang source code you can generate your own local gem and install it like this:
24
+
25
+ ```
26
+ $ gem build rlang.gemspec
27
+ $ gem install --local rlang-x.y.z.gem
28
+ ```
29
+
30
+ To check that the installation went well, run `rlang --help` and see if the help message displays correctly
31
+
32
+ ## The Rlang language
33
+ Ruby features supported by Rlang are detailed in the [Rlang Manual](https://github.com/ljulliar/rlang/blob/master/docs/RlangManual.md)
34
+
35
+ You can also look at the rlang test suite in [test/rlang_test_files](https://github.com/ljulliar/rlang/blob/master/test/rlang_test_files/) to get a flavor of the subset of Ruby currently supported.
36
+
37
+ ## rlang compiler
38
+ The Rlang compiler can be invoked through the `rlang` command. See the [Rlang Compiler Documentation](https://github.com/ljulliar/rlang/blob/master/docs/RlangCompiler.md) for more details about the command line options.
39
+
40
+ Keep in mind that Rlang is **NOT** a Ruby interpreter or a Ruby VM executing some kind of bytecode. It does actually statically **compile** the Rlang language to WebAssembly code pretty much like gcc or llvm compiles C/C++ code to machine assembly language.
41
+
42
+ ## rlang simulator
43
+ **COMING SOON**
44
+ One of the big benefits of Rlang being a subset of the Ruby language is that you can actually run, test and debug your Rlang code as you would for normal Ruby code. This can be a big boost for your productivity.
45
+
46
+ ## Why Rlang?
47
+ This project was created out of the need to develop a Virtual Machine written in WebAssembly capable of interpreting the [Rubinius](https://github.com/rubinius/rubinius) bytecode. And yes, ultimately run a native Ruby VM in a browser :-)
48
+
49
+ After a first proof of concept written directly by hand in WebAssembly (WAT code) it became clear that writing a full fledged VM directly in WebAssembly was going to be tedious, complex and unnecessarily painful.
50
+
51
+ Sure I could have written this VM in any of the language that can already be compiled directly to WebAssembly (C, C++, Rust, Go,...) but being fond of Ruby since 2000 I decided that I would go for a compiler capable of transforming a subset of the Ruby language directly into WebAssembly with a minimum overhead. So in a nutshell: the goal of Rlang is to let you develop efficient WebAssembly code with a reasonably high level of abstraction while keeping the generated WebAssembly code straightforward and human readable.
52
+
53
+ ## Why the name Rlang?
54
+ Yes I hear you: Rlang is already the name of the R language so why use that name and aren't you introducing some confusion? Well for one I couldn't resist using that name to honor software engineering history (see below) and because, after all, the intersection between the Ruby/WebAssembly community and the R language community focused on data processing and machine learning must be quite small to say the least.
55
+
56
+ The name **Rlang** itself is a tribute to [Slang](http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/slang), a subset of the Smalltalk language that can directly translate to C. It was created in 1995 to bootstrap the development of the virtual machine of Squeak, an open-source Smalltalk programming system. I highly encourage anyone interested in the history and the technology of virtual machines to read both the [Back to the future](http://www.vpri.org/pdf/tr1997001_backto.pdf) article as well as the now legendary [Blue Book](http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks/BlueBook/Bluebook.pdf) explaining how the Smalltalk-80 Virtual Machine and Language were designed in the 80s. I would actually go as far as saying that you don't really know what (virtual) machines are until you have read this book :-)
