Build scripts

You need to run code in your build. Most people solve this by writing brittle scripts in Bash or Powershell, or, at best, a language like Python. spn solves this with WebAssembly1. It embeds a WASM runtime, and will automatically compile arbitrary C programs to WASM modules that run in the build graph. You do not write code against a subset of C, or against a DSL. You write regular code, in the language you were using anyway.

Footnotes

  1. WebAssembly is a platform agnostic binary target; instead of compiling code for x86_64 or ARM64 machine code and running it with your CPU, you compile it to WASM bytecode and run it inside a regular program. ↩
