Hello World Example

Basic Example​

An Alia project uses main.alia in the project root directory as its entry point; the project skeleton can be generated with alia create or alia init, see the Installation Guide. The contents of main.alia are as follows:

print 'Hello World!'

How to Run​

In interpreted mode, alia start executes main.alia in the project root directory:

alia start

In compiled mode, alia run compiles the project and runs the compiled output, with js as the default target language:

alia run --lang:js

Output:
