Hello Sovereignty

Hello Sovereignty

“Speak, and it shall be done.”

It is time to breathe life into the rock.

1. The Source Code

Create a file named hello.jan in your editor.

hello.jan

func main() do
    print("I think, therefore I am Sovereign.")
end

2. The Compilation

We do not interpret. We build.

janus build hello.jan

If you see no errors, you have succeeded. Silence is golden.

3. The Execution

Run your creation.

./hello

Output:

I think, therefore I am Sovereign.

4. The Autopsy

What just happened?

janus build did not just “run” the code. It created a binary.

Look at it:

ls -lh hello
file hello

It says ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable. This file is independent. You can copy it to another Linux machine, and it will run. It does not need Janus installed. It stands alone.

You have created an independent entity.
