Examples

Gloat includes over 50 example programs in both Clojure and YAMLScript. These examples demonstrate the compilation pipeline and showcase what you can build.

All examples are available in the example/ directory of the repository.

Running Examples

# Run a YAMLScript example
make run FILE=example/yamlscript/fizzbuzz.ys

# Run a Clojure example with arguments
make run FILE=example/clojure/factorial.clj a='10'

# Compile an example to binary
gloat example/yamlscript/dragon-curve.ys -o dragon
./dragon

3. Select any example from the dropdown
4. Click Compile to build to Wasm
5. Click Run to execute in your browser

Or run them locally:
