# Rush
> ⚠️ **AI-Generated Content Notice**: Much of this project's documentation has been generated with AI and may contain errors or incomplete information. This will get replaced as development continues. **This is experimental software and NOT recommended for production use.**
Rush is an experimental shell scripting language interpreter that combines simple syntax with strict validation and built-in concurrency.
## Features
- **Variable interpolation** with validation
- **Built-in variables** (`$USER`, `$HOME`, `$IS_ROOT`)
- **Control flow** with `if`/`else` and `not`
- **For loops** for iteration
- **Parallel execution** blocks for concurrent tasks
- **Strict parsing** that catches errors before execution
## Quick Start
**Build:**
```bash
cargo build --release
```
**Your first script** (`hello.rsh`):
```rush
#!/usr/bin/env rush
NAME = "World"
echo "Hello, $NAME!"
```
**Run:**
```bash
./target/debug/rush hello.rsh
```
## Documentation
📚 **[Read the full documentation](docs/)** (built with mdBook)
**Build and view docs locally:**
```bash
mdbook serve docs
```
Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
**Or build static HTML:**
```bash
mdbook build docs
# Open docs/book/index.html
```
## Example Scripts
The documentation includes comprehensive examples:
- **Web Deployment** - Multi-server deployment with parallel execution
- **System Maintenance** - Permission-aware system tasks
- **Data Pipeline** - Parallel batch processing
- **CI/CD Pipeline** - Build, test, and deploy automation
- **Database Backup** - Backup with integrity verification
See the [Examples](docs/src/examples/) section in the documentation.
## Project Status
**⚠️ Experimental - Not for Production**
Rush is under active development. The language design and implementation are subject to change. Current capabilities:
- ✅ Basic scripting features
- ✅ Parallel execution
- ✅ Variable interpolation
- ⚠️ Limited command support
- ❌ No package management
- ❌ No module system
- ❌ Limited error handling
**Do not use Rush for:**
- Production systems
- Critical automation
- Enterprise deployments
- Anything requiring stability
