Welcome

This is the wiki for triplescripts.org — committed to software tooling for the out-crowd. To learn more about triple scripts and the triple scripts ecosystem, check the existing material on triplescripts.org, have a look at the why and how of triple scripts, or read on.

Applications
What triple scripts are well-suited for:


 * portable, no-fuss build scripts
 * auditable, offline software security fobs
 * file format decompressors, explorers, manipulators, etc
 * ... and other utilities that perform limited file IO; particularly suited for many file inputs, zero or one file outputs

What triple scripts are not suited for:


 * networked applications

Triple scripts are for everyone, but not for all things. (See other mantras.)

... and other terms listed in the glossary.

For those completely unacquainted with triple scripts and triple script development, please pay special attention to the triple script invariants. Given their importance, we'll repeat them here: we say that triple scripts are...
 * self-contained
 * homologous
 * automorphic
