Dickinson is a text-generation language.

You can try out the language on the web without installing anything.

Binaries for some platforms are available on the releases page.

Unpack the distribution, then:

make install

There is an install script which will try to download the right release for your computer:

curl -sSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vmchale/dickinson/master/bash/install.sh | sh -s

To install, get cabal-install and GHC. Then:

cabal install language-dickinson

Manpages are installed at

emd man

So man $(emd man) will pull them up in bash, for instance.

Editor integration is available for vim.

Using vim-plug:

Plug 'vmchale/dickinson' , { 'rtp' : 'vim' }

A user guide is available in markdown and as a pdf.

See man/emd.1 for man pages.

A riff on the Unix fortune program is available here. Try

emd run examples/fortune.dck

Other examples are in the examples directory.
