Getting Started

jeesh has two halves: the wiki (this site, where the language's vocabulary lives) and a local runtime that downloads that vocabulary and runs it. Bootstrapping the runtime is one command, run from whatever directory you want it installed into:

curl -fsSL https://jeesh.us/bootstrap | node -

This creates ./.jeesh/ and ./jeesh right there — nothing outside that directory. No npm install, no global install, no PATH changes. Requires Node, nothing else.

What you get today

./jeesh version
./jeesh help

version prints the runtime version, plus a grammar version and vocabulary root that read none for now — downloading and running the vocabulary is the next piece being built. Anything other than version/help exits with a named error.

Why it's built this way

See About for the reasoning: sharing a single, hash-verified vocabulary instead of everyone reinventing the same functions is both a token-cost argument and an evolution-speed argument.
