# The Boron Programming Language
Boron is a simple, light, readable, and efficient programming language.
# Boron Syntax
More information about Boron syntax is continuously forthcoming. `FORMAL-GRAMMAR.md` provides an introduction to Boron grammar.
# The Boron Compiler
This repository holds the source code for the Boron compiler, `boron`. `boron` compiles Boron source code (`.brn` files) to output C source files (`.c` files).
# Building `boron`
The Boron compiler is written fully in the Rust programming language and can be compiled with an up-to-date version of `cargo`.
## From Crates.io
Boron can be installed from the [crates.io](https://crates.io) registry.
```
$ cargo install boron-lang
$ boron [input].brn
```
## From Source
Boron can also be built and executed from source using the following commands.
```
$ git clone https://github.com/hobbsbros/boron.git
$ cd boron
$ cargo build --release
$ ./boron [input].brn
```
