Example code

Factorial:

import "std/libc.jazz"
func factorial(x: i32) i32 {
    if x == 0 {
        return 1;
    } else {
        return factorial(x - 1) * x;
    }
}

pub func main() i32 {
    printf("%i\n",factorial(5));

    return 0;
} 

Building

   sudo dnf install libgccjit-devel
   

   Ubuntu Linux

   sudo apt install libgccjit-9-dev
   

2. Run cargo build --release
3. Run cargo install --path .
