simple download of a djot script or pre-built binary I can just drop into my ~/bin?

[uvtc]

Is there an implementation of djot I can install as a single download that I can drop into my ~/bin, chmod +x, and use?

I don't have npm installed, and I'd rather not have to install a language ecosystem (like npm or luarocks) if I can avoid it.

However, I can apt install any version of lua easily enough.

You can compile djot.js to a self-contained binary using deno compile. It won't be small though:

$ deno compile -o djot --allow-read npm:@djot/djot

$ ./djot 
Hello *world*
<p>Hello <strong>world</strong></p>

$ eza -l ./djot 
.rwxrwxrwx 108M matklad 30 Dec 12:17 ./djot

$ ldd ./djot

There's rust implementation. They don't have releases so you'll have to compile it but it should give you a nice small fast executable

I just install the rust version, jotdown, including cli it's 350KB. Very nice

I'm working on a Haskell implementation which will produce a binary (not tiny, but smaller, 24M). It is also considerably faster than the typescript implementation. It will be done...eventually.

I have got a working version of the Haskell implementation now. It's 16M stripped. I was excited by its performance -- it's roughly 5x faster than my Haskell commonmark parser, for example, with a comparable set of extensions enabled. Then I tried jotdown, which is 2-3 times faster than my djoths!

By the way, we need a list of implementations somewhere. I'll open a new thread on Discussions for that.

Wow!

I have added binary releases to jotdown now so you can do e.g.

$ curl -L "https://github.com/hellux/jotdown/releases/download/0.3.2/jotdown-0.3.2-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz" \
    | tar -Oxz jotdown-0.3.2-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/jotdown \
    > jotdown && chmod +x jotdown
$ ./jotdown
test
<p>test</p>

Runs for me on current Linux Mint. Thanks!
