It will soon become -the root of the project. - -There are several goals: - -* Use the gn build system for fast builds, sane configuration, and easy - linking into Chrome. - -* Use V8 snapshots to improve startup time. - -* Remove Golang. Although it has been working nicely, I am concerned the - double GC will become a problem sometime down the road. - -* Distribute a C++ library called libdeno, containing the snapshotted - typescript runtime. - -* Test the message passing and other functionality at that layer before - involving higher level languages. - -The contenders for building the privileged part of Deno are Rust and C++. -Thanks to Chrome and gn, using C++ to link into high level libraries is not -untenable. However, there's a lot of interest in Rust in the JS community and -it seems like a reasonable choice. TBD. - -There are many people exploring the project, so care will be taken to keep the -original code functional while this is developed. However, once it's ready -the code in this deno2/ directory will be moved to the root. - - -## Prerequisites - -Get Depot Tools and make sure it's in your path. -http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra-docs/flat/depot_tools/docs/html/depot_tools_tutorial.html#_setting_up - -For linux you need these prereqs: - - sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev pkg-config ccache - - -## Build - -First install the javascript deps. - - cd js; yarn install - -TODO(ry) Remove the above step by a deps submodule. - -Wrapper around the gclient/gn/ninja for end users. Try this first: - - ./tools/build.py --use_ccache --debug - -If that doesn't work, or you need more control, try calling gn manually: - - gn gen out/Debug --args='cc_wrapper="ccache" is_debug=true ' - -Then build with ninja: - - ninja -C out/Debug/ deno - - -Other useful commands: - - gn args out/Debug/ --list # List build args - gn args out/Debug/ # Modify args in $EDITOR |
