CrabLang is a community fork of the Rust language. It is not opposed to Rust. The main branch of the fork will continue to be synchronized with the upstream code base. The goal is to provide a space where the community can thrive without the constraints of corporate interests. The project repository contains the compiler, standard library and documentation.

To start using the renamed CrabLang toolchain, run the following command:

sh <(curl https://install.crablang.org -L)

Install from source

The Crab build system uses a x.pyA Python script to build the compiler and manage the bootstrap process, which exists in the root directory of the project.
