Add initial setup for codespaces (#1713)
Once this PR is merged, Github codespaces will be available,
facilitating contributions from all kinds.

- Juvix Haskell Project CodeSpace

[![Open in GitHub
Codespaces](https://github.com/codespaces/badge.svg)](https://github.com/codespaces/new?hide_repo_select=true&ref=main&repo=102404734&machine=standardLinux32gb&location=WestEurope)

- Juvix Standard Library CodeSpace

[![Open in GitHub
Codespaces](https://github.com/codespaces/badge.svg)](https://github.com/codespaces/new?hide_repo_select=true&ref=main&repo=455254004)

Note that the change here to REAMDE.org only adds a badge that opens the
Juvix Standard Lib Open Spaces. Such an environment quickly loads the
Juvix binary, examples from anoma/juvix/examples, and all the files from
the Standard library. One needs more than 15 GB of memory RAM and more
than 15 GB of storage to load the Juvix Haskell project properly. These
are requirements that are not included in the free plan offered with
GitHub Codespace.

** Description
Juvix is a research programming language created by [[https://heliax.dev/][Heliax]] as a first step toward creating more robust and reliable alternatives for formally verified smart contracts than existing languages. The Juvix language is constantly evolving, open-source, functional, and statically typed with special support for compiling [[https://anoma.network/blog/validity-predicates/][validity predicates]] to the =C= language, which can be deployed to various distributed ledgers including [[https://anoma.net/][Anoma]].
The Juvix language and related tools are documented in [[https://anoma.github.io/juvix/][the Juvix book]]. To write
and test Juvix programs, you can use your favorite text editor, the =juvix=
command line tool, the [[https://github.com/codespaces/new?hide_repo_select=true&ref=main&repo=102404734&machine=standardLinux32gb&location=WestEurope][Juvix Github Codespace]], and the [[https://github.com/codespaces/new?hide_repo_select=true&ref=main&repo=102404734&machine=standardLinux32gb&location=WestEurope][Juvix Standard Lib Codespace]]. However, we recommend using the =juvix-mode= in [[https://docs.juvix.org/tooling/emacs-mode.html][Emacs]] or the
plugin in [[https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=heliax.juvix-mode][VSCode]].

The [[https://anoma.github.io/juvix-stdlib/][Juvix standard library]] contains
common functions that can be used in Juvix programs.
** Installation
*** MacOS
The easiest way to install Juvix on MacOS is by using [[https://brew.sh][Homebrew]].
To install the [[https://github.com/anoma/homebrew-juvix][homebrew-juvix tap]], run:
#+begin_src shell
brew tap anoma/juvix
#+end_src
To install Juvix, run:
#+begin_src shell
brew install juvix
#+end_src
Helpful information on the shell can also be obtained by running:
#+begin_src shell
brew info juvix
#+end_src
*** Linux x86_64
A Juvix compiler binary executable for Linux x86_64 is available on the [[https://github.com/anoma/juvix/releases/latest][Juvix release page]].
To install this executable, downlaod and unzip the linked file and add move it
to a directory on your shell's =PATH=.
For example if =~/.local/bin= is on your shell's =PATH= you can install Juvix as
follows:
#+begin_src shell
cd /tmp
curl -OL https://github.com/anoma/juvix/releases/download/v0.2.8/juvix-linux_x86_64-v0.2.8.zip
unzip juvix-linux_x86_64-v0.2.8.zip
mv juvix-linux_x86_64-v0.2.8 ~/.local/bin/juvix
#+end_src
*** Building Juvix from source
To install Juvix from source you must clone the [[https://github.com/anoma/juvix.git][Github repository]]. Then Juvix
can be installed with the following commands. We assume you have [[https://haskellstack.org][Stack]]
installed.
#+begin_src shell
git clone --recursive https://github.com/anoma/juvix.git
cd juvix
stack install
#+end_src
On MacOS you can alternatively run the following command for Homebrew. The flag
=--HEAD= used below is optional, use it to build the latest version of Juvix in
the =main= branch on Github.
#+begin_src shell
brew install --build-from-source --HEAD juvix --verbose
#+end_src
** Quick Start
After installation run =juvix --help= to see the list of commands available. See
[[https://docs.juvix.org/getting-started/quick-start.html#cli-usage-examples][CLI usage examples]] for descriptions of common tasks.
Run Juvix doctor to check your system setup:
#+begin_src shell
juvix doctor
#+end_src
*** The Hello World example
This is the Juvix source code of the traditional Hello World program.
#+begin_src shell
-- HelloWorld.juvix
module HelloWorld;
open import Stdlib.Prelude;
main : IO;
main := putStrLn "hello world!";
end;
#+end_src
To compile and run a binary generated by Juvix, save the source code to a file
called =HelloWorld.juvix= and run the following command from the directory
containing it:
#+begin_src shell
juvix compile HelloWorld.juvix
./HelloWorld
#+end_src
You should see the output: =hello world!=
The source code can also be compiled to a WebAssembly binary. This requires some
additional setup. See [[https://anoma.github.io/juvix/getting-started/dependencies.html][Installing dependencies]] in the documentation for more
information. You can also run =juvix doctor= to check your setup.
#+begin_src shell
juvix compile --target wasm HelloWorld.juvix
wasmer HelloWorld.wasm
#+end_src
** LSP support
We provide a sammple =hie.yaml= configuration file for both =cabal= and =stack=.
If you prefer =stack=, run:
#+begin_src shell
cp stack.hie.yaml hie.yaml
#+end_src
If you prefer =cabal=, run:
#+begin_src shell
cp cabal.hie.yaml hie.yaml
#+end_src
** Building the project with =cabal=
We recommend that contributors use the =stack= build tool with this project.
If you would prefer to use the =cabal= build tool instead then you must generate
the =juvix.cabal= file using [[https://github.com/sol/hpack][hpack]] before running =cabal build=.
** The Juvix programming language
Juvix allows us to write programs with a high degree of assurance. The Juvix
compiler runs several static analyses during the compilation phase to guarantee
no runtime errors. Analyses permormed during this phase include scope,
termination, arity, and type checkiqng. As a result, functional programs,
especially validity predicates, can be written with greater confidence that they
will be free of runtime errors.
Some of the language features in Juvix include:
- unicode syntax
- parametric polymorphism
- inductive and parametric data types
- higher-order functions
- implicit arguments
- holes in expressions
- axioms for non-computable terms
Additionally, the foreign and compile blocks syntax enable developers to compile
a program to different backends including the =C= language. The Juvix module
system further permits splitting programs into several modules to build
libraries which can be later documented by generating HTML files based on the
codebase, see for example, [[https://anoma.github.io/juvix-stdlib/][the Juvix
standard library's website]]. For futher details, please refer to
[[https://anoma.github.io/juvix/][the Juvix book]] which includes our
[[https://anoma.github.io/juvix/introduction/changelog.html][latest updates]].
