AbySS: Advanced-scripting by Symbolic Syntax

AbySS blends symbolic, spell-inspired syntax with a fast Rust core. Use it to iterate in an interpreter, script automation, or explore new language ideas—all while staying in a magical frame of mind.

• Arcane syntax with themed keywords like forge, oracle, and orbit.
• Collections & artifacts for structured data plus first-class mutation rules.
• VS Code tooling (AbySS Codex Familiar) that shares the same TextMate grammar as the docs.
• Rust-powered compiler built on chumsky and ariadne for resilient parsing and diagnostics.

Quick Install

cargo install abyss-lang

Or build from source:

cd abyss-lang
cargo install --path .

Try it quickly

abyss cast                 # interactive interpreter
abyss invoke examples/hello.aby
abyss align path/to/script.aby

Documentation

The full language reference, tutorials, and roadmap now live in the Starlight docs.

cd docs
bun install
bun run dev

Every ```abyss sample on the site uses the same grammar as the VS Code extension, so highlighting stays in sync with the repo.

Tooling

• AbySS Codex Familiar – VS Code extension with highlighting, snippets, and completions.
• cargo llvm-cov ready – run cargo llvm-cov --open for coverage reports; CI uploads to Codecov with the same command.
