The name "Bunt" comes from the baseball term "bunt".

While an injured batter may not be able to hit a home run, he can still hit a bunt. I wrote the language while my wrist and arm were injured.
-
bunt is not a powerful swing but it's just enough to get the ball rolling and doing it's job of moving the teammate from first base to second base. Likewise this language is not powerful and performant but has just enough features to write a simple program.
open bunt.sln in Visual Studio. Press the Green arrow to build and launch the interpreter in a REPL session.
you will see a pop up window where you can interact with Bunt.
>
Open Windows Powershell and run the following command from the root of the repo
\> dotnet build
you can also run msbuild or dotnet msbuild. This will generate executable files under \bunt\bin\Debug\net6.0\
you can run
.\bunt\bin\Debug\net6.0\bunt.exe
and this will launch the REPL session.
Follow the same steps as Launch Bunt REPL from command line section. Pass a single file as an argument.
.\bunt\bin\Debug\net6.0\bunt.exe .\tests\fun.bunt
