# Limbo by Example These are programming examples in the spirit of [gobyexample](https://github.com/mmcgrana/gobyexample), but targeted to the Limbo programming language. These examples are tested on the [purgatorio](http://code.9front.org/hg/purgatorio/) fork of the Inferno operating system. Examples will, if they reference lines in source within an explanation, utilize a plumbable string (see: plumb(1)) which indicates the line - or range of lines - which the explanation references. Examples are composed in acme(1) which allows you to right click these strings to jump to the relevant source lines. The `;` rune indicates a command to be run from the Inferno sh(1) shell. ## Building If a given example provides a mkfile: ; mk Otherwise, there will only be one file, a Limbo source file which can be built with: ; limbo file.b You could then run said file with: ; file ## Index - [Hello World](./HelloWorld) - [Values](./Values) - [Constants](./Constants) - [Loops](./Loops) - [If Else](./If-Else) ## References - [The Limbo Programming Language](http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/4th_edition/limbo_language/limbo) - [Inferno Programming with Limbo](http://www.gemusehaken.org/ipwl/) - [A Descent into Limbo](http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/4th_edition/limbo_language/descent) - [Limbo Programming](http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/papers/limbomore.html) - [Inferno Lab](https://github.com/caerwynj/inferno-lab/)
