dotty

The experimental compiler for a Scala dialect based on DOT.

To get started:

  sbt compile
  sbt run
  sbt test

At least half of the tests fail, we need to diagnose them.

To use the Scala IDE:

  sbt eclipse

Notes:

• You will need the Scala IDE for 2.11.0-M7
• There are 2 spurious version incompatibility warnings
• To run dotty in Eclipse:
  • Navigate to dotty.tools.dotc.Main
  • Run As... > Scala Application
  • then go to Run Configurations > Main$ > Classpath > Bootstrap entries:
    • add the Scala library (Advanced... > Add library... > Scala library)
    • add the dotty classfiles (Add projects... > [x] dotty)
  • then go to Run Configurations > Main$ > Arguments and add ${project_loc}/examples/hello.scala
