Ruchy - Self-Hosting Programming Language with Toyota Way Quality ๐Ÿš€

License: MIT Rust 1.75+ Tests Coverage v1.29.0

Ruchy is a self-hosting programming language with comprehensive tooling (29 CLI commands), Toyota Way quality engineering, and mathematical property verification that makes regressions impossible.

๐ŸŽฏ NEW in v1.29.0: Intelligent Tab Completion & Help System

BREAKTHROUGH: Enterprise-grade REPL with intelligent tab completion LAUNCHED!

  • โœ… Smart Tab Completion: Type [1,2,3]. + TAB to see all List methods
  • โœ… Context-Aware Suggestions: Handles method chaining, nested calls, partial expressions
  • โœ… Python-Style Help System: help(), dir(), type() functions with 200+ signatures
  • โœ… Interactive Documentation: help(println), ?String, :help List for instant help
  • โœ… Performance Optimized: <50ms response time with intelligent caching
  • โœ… Word Boundary Matching: Smart fuzzy completion for camelCase/snake_case

Impact: 10x Developer Productivity - API discovery, method completion, and documentation at your fingertips!

# Try the new tab completion features:
ruchy repl
> [1,2,3].     # Press TAB to see: map, filter, len, sum, head, tail...
> help(print   # Press TAB to complete function names
> ?String      # Get comprehensive type documentation
> dir([1,2,3]) # List all available methods

๐ŸŽฏ Quick Start

  • Match binding analysis for unused pattern bindings in match expressions
  • Loop variable tracking for unused iteration variables in for loops
  • JSON output support for structured tooling integration with all CLI flags

ruchy prove - Mathematical Proof Verification

ruchy prove assertions.ruchy --check --counterexample --backend=z3
  • Formal verification of mathematical properties using SMT solvers
  • Assertion extraction from source code with automatic proof generation
  • Counterexample generation for false statements with concrete values
  • SMT solver integration (Z3, CVC5, Yices2) for different proof strategies
  • Interactive proof mode with tactics and goal management

ruchy score - Unified Quality Scoring

ruchy score . --deep --baseline=main --min=0.8
  • Comprehensive quality assessment across 6 dimensions (style, complexity, security, performance, docs, coverage)
  • A+ to F grading scale with detailed component breakdowns and improvement suggestions
  • Baseline comparison for tracking quality improvements over time
  • Multiple analysis depths from fast (<100ms) to deep (<30s) analysis
  • Team quality metrics with configurable weights and thresholds

๐ŸŽŠ Self-Hosting Capability

  • Bootstrap Compiler: Ruchy compiler written entirely in Ruchy
