Commands

low run: Compiles and runs a file or a module directory.
low build: Writes a native binary. -o names it and -target picks linux/amd64 or windows/amd64.

low ir: Prints the optimised SSA form.
low asm: Prints the generated assembly.
low lint: Type-checks the program and prints its warnings.
low lsp: Starts the language server that the editor extensions use.

Projects and editors

A directory is a module. A low.mod file marks the project root, and import ui/text loads ui/text/ under it. The standard library is imported as std/..., and the editor extensions need low on PATH.
