Rail Examples

Twenty-two programs, each with its source and captured output. Pick one and read the source: that is the fastest way to learn Rail.

• calculator — expression evaluator with ADTs — calculator
• closures — lambdas and higher-order functions — closures
• concurrency — fibers and channels — concurrency
• error_test — what a Rail error looks like — error_test
• fibonacci — recursion, range, map — fibonacci
• file_processor — read, write, transform files — file_processor
• fizzbuzz — the classic interview question — fizzbuzz
• hello — first Rail program — hello
• lists — cons, map, fold, filter, range — lists
• pattern_matching — ADTs and `match` — pattern_matching
• pipes — the `|>` operator — pipes
• quicksort — functional quicksort on lists — quicksort
• string_processing — split, join, reverse, append, shell — string_processing
• tco_test — tail call optimization — tco_test
• wasm/adt — ADTs and pattern matching in WebAssembly — wasm_adt
• wasm/closure — captured locals in WASM — wasm_closure
• wasm/fib — recursive Fibonacci in WebAssembly — wasm_fib
• wasm/hello — Rail to WebAssembly — wasm_hello
