x86_64, ARM64 (Apple Silicon & Graviton)

🧠 How It Works

luck coordinates its core functionality through a modular OCaml pipeline. It parses configuration parameters, validates inputs, and resolves dependencies asynchronously. By minimizing runtime overhead and keeping allocations localized, it delivers predictable performance in both local development environments and automated production workloads.

🎯 Production Use Cases

Production System Integration

Embed luck into OCaml backend services to handle core application logic.

CI/CD Automated Pipelines

Run automated validation, builds, and integration suites during deployments.

Developer Tooling & Workflows

Accelerate developer onboarding with pre-configured project utilities.

Open Source Extension

Fork and customize internal modules under the repository's open NOASSERTION license.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install luck using your package manager: `git clone https://github.com/alltom/luck.git`

2

Aurochs is a parser generator that uses the parse expression grammar (PEG) or "packrat" approach. It takes a grammar in a BNF-like notation (a .peg file) and produces bytecode (a .nog file) for a stack automaton. This bytecode is later interpreted on the input to parse using a C library. Bindings are given for Ocaml, Java and Exascript.
