Hello¶
This is the Felix tutorial
Basics: Hello¶
Running a Program¶
Let’s start with a simple script:
println$ "Hello World!";
To run it you just say:
flx hello.flx
It’s pretty simple. Felix runs programs like Python does, you run the source code directly. Behind the scenes, Felix translates the program into C++, compiles the program, and runs it. All the generated files are cached in the .felix/cache subdirectory of your $HOME directory on Unix like systems, and $USERPROFILE on Windows.
This means the script can be run in a read-only directory.
