Getting Started

Install Jot, run your first program, and understand the project layout.

Install

curl -fsSL https://jotlang.dev/install.sh | bash
jot --version

Your first program

Create hello.jot:

fn main() -> Int {
  print("hello from jot")
  0
}

Run it:

jot run hello.jot

Suggested workflow

  • Use jot check while editing to get type errors quickly.
  • Keep modules small and cohesive.
  • Add signatures at API boundaries even when inference works.
