- 01Getting startedRequirements, a first build and a first program: CMake 3.28+, a C++23 compiler and Python 3; CMake finds or downloads LLVM 23 and the other libraries.
- 02Building the compilerRequirements, CMake presets and options, tests and benchmarks on Linux, macOS and Windows.
- 03Using the compilerThe clau command line: options, artifacts, listings and the compile cache.
- 04How to interpret the resultsTrying Clause on an existing Erlang code base: what compiles today, what notimpl messages mean, and what to try next.
Not written yet. Meanwhile, see: Validation, Deferred-feature reporting
- 05Known differences from Erlang/OTPObservable behavior where Clause knowingly differs from OTP 29.
