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.
