First App

Create a Tish file

Create main.tish:

fn greet(name) {
    return `Hello, ${name}!`
}
 
console.log(greet("World"))

Run with the interpreter

tish run main.tish

Output: Hello, World!

To try code interactively with multi-line input, tab completion, and history, use the Interactive REPL: run tish with no arguments.

Compile to native binary

tish compile main.tish -o hello
./hello

Same output. The compiled binary has no runtime dependency on Tish.

For backend options (Rust vs Cranelift), see Native Backend. For WebAssembly (browser or Wasmtime), see WASM Targets.

HTTP server (requires http feature)

Create server.tish:

fn handleRequest(req) {
    return { status: 200, body: `Hello, ${req.path}` }
}
 
serve(8080, handleRequest)

Run (the tish binary must be built with the http feature):

cargo run -p tish --features http -- run server.tish

Or compile to a standalone binary:

tish compile server.tish -o server --feature http
./server

Then visit http://localhost:8080/.
