A hands-on introduction to Solod (So) — a subset of Go that translates to C.

To run a specific example locally, use the so run command. For example:
so run lang/05-for
so run apps/head -n 4 data/jenny.txt
You'll need to have a C compiler installed and available as cc, or you can set a custom compiler by using the CC environment variable.
To see the generated C code, use the so translate command. For example:
so translate -o lang/05-for/generated lang/05-for
