Language guide
A functional language for parallel and distributed programming. The next chapter of Clio.
Start with a small program, then learn how to compose functions, work with data, and send typed work to parallel workers.
The examples below describe the implemented Kalandra port. They are compiled and executed by the project test suite. This is a guide to the current language, not a promise that every historical Clio feature is available.

Run the examples
Use the Try in playground link on a lesson to load its exact example. Loading an example does not run it automatically. The playground has a ten-second limit and supports one source file without network access or package imports.
After installing the CLI, save a lesson's source as main.kalandra and run it:
kalandra run main.kalandra --strictCurrent limits and port status
Source files use .kalandra and projects use kalandra.toml. Kalandra is a new beginning; Clio project formats are not supported.
