Enso – a visual and textual functional programming language.

Overview

Enso is an open source visual data science language selected by Singularity University and NASA as one of 20 most unique technologies worldwide. Enso consists of several sub-projects, including the Enso Language Compiler, the Enso Integrated Development Environment (IDE), and a high performance WebGL UI framework (EnsoGL).

Getting Started

Enso is distributed both in form of pre-build packages for MacOS, Windows, or Linux, as well as the source code. See the demo scenes, and read the documentation to learn more.

Currently to start IDE you have to run Enso Project Manager first. For more information and packages see Enso repository.

Building

The project builds on MacOS, Linux, and Windows. Simply run node ./run build to build it and use node ./run --help to learn about other available commands and options. Read the detailed development guide to learn more.
