This looks like a really cool project/language. How do I build it? Does it build on OS X?

I'd love to "watch" the project on github, but alas it's stranded on the island of google code. Check out this [1] basho blog entry on why they chose github over bitbucket — most of the reasoning applies to google code as well. I'm not affiliated with github, by the way, just a happy user.

For a project like this, the concept of "watchers" isn't a vanity metric. I've been working on a lisp->javascript language and have found github watchers to be surprisingly motivating and encouraging.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac, so my ability to support Mac users is limited at the moment. Scotch should build from source just fine if you install GHC and use Haskell's Cabal tool to download a few extra packages - haskeline and executable-path are the two I can think of at the moment that are needed.

The command to build is ghc --make scotch. Just run the executable that's produced. Let me know if you run into any problems and I'll see if I can help.

As far as Github, never used it, as I've always been a SVN guy - I'll have to look into it after the holidays are over. Thanks for the suggestion.

I took your advice. Scotch officially moved over to Github - https://github.com/bendmorris/scotch
