This section introduces Rouge to developers looking to understand or contribute to the implementation of the language. To begin with, the main components of the interpreter are introduced in the following. Rouge is implemented by a cross-platform interpreter written in TypeScript. The interpreter can be executed locally on the desktop or in a web-based environment. The web-based development environment serves as the default way to write and debug programs written in Rouge. It is important to mention that the web-IDE is architected in a way where all computations are performed client-side. This approach maximizes user privacy while keeping operating costs low.
