Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

compile

✓ import { compile } from 'prism-lang'

✗ const compile = require('prism-lang')

ESM-only; the package exports functions for programmatic use.

run

✓ import { run } from 'prism-lang'

✗ import * as prism from 'prism-lang'; prism.run(...)

Named export, not default.

check

✓ import { check } from 'prism-lang'

✗ import { check } from 'prism-lang/check'

Main entry point; no subpath exports.

Shows basic Prism syntax: immutable/mutable variables, function with type annotations, and output.

// compile.prism final name: string = "Prism" mut count: int = 0 fn greet(name: string): string { return "Hello, " + name } print(greet("World")) // CLI: prism compile file.prism --js
