A prototype compiled programming language, striving to be an easy-to-use, borrow checked, non-garbage-collected, memory safe, robust programming language.
As an open source project, we welcome contributions! However, because the project is still in it's early days, the development is rather turbulent. For that reason, we suggest you to first let us know of your intentions by opening an issue, or joining our Discord and saying "hello" there. Thanks!
The Metal toolchain uses the nightly Rust channel, so to work on it you should use a reasonably recent nightly Rust installation.
When adding dependencies to Metal please make sure to only add the main dependency information (i.e. tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] })
to the Cargo.toml in Metal's root directory. Then, when using the dependency in one of Metal's child crates, in lieu of adding it directly, only add it
as a workspace dependency (i.e. tokio = { workspace = true }).
