Line 1:
There is no dedicated triple script runtime at this time, although '''treason''' is the codename given to the hypothetical reference runtime that we eventually plan to implement. It will likely be based on a fork of Fabrice Bellard's [https://bellard.org/quickjs/ QuickJS] and start out as being command-line only (and live that way for some time).
 
Because of the general properties of triple scripts, however, a treason-like runtime (i.e. one specifically built to run triple scripts, unlike the browser which ''incidentally'' runs triple scripts) itself implemented as a triple script, is both possible and tractable. This will be essential for prototyping and eventuallyprovide be thea basisgood of our abilityplatform to shipdevelop an officially blessed runtime for legacy systems (i.e., a way to approximate "running treason in the browser"). The same projectstarting canpoint is likely towould be thea basisgood candidate for developing the [[VSCode integration]] (in the form of an official extension from triplescripts.org).
