This effectively allows the developer to **never write any host language code** when building core logic. The host language is the language in which the `rose-core` was built, for the repository you're viewing right now, that would be PHP. In the future we're planning to build ports of Rose and its extensions for other host languages such as Python, NodeJS or whatever hot crazy lang may be available in the future. And when that happens, all of your current code written for Rose will **continue to work seamlessly** in the new host language (given that all required extensions are *of course* ported to the new host language as well). And *that* dear readers, is the power of Rose. Installation ============ [](#installation) As any other package of the modern web, this one should be installed using a package manager. In this case, we're on Packagist and you can install Rose using composer. **However** this is `rose-core`, and should not be used alone. Please use one of our pre-made project skeletons instead: Project TypePackage URLDescriptionAPIDeploy flexible and secure APIs in the blink of an eye with Rose's internal API extension, Wind. Expression Functions ==================== [](#expression-functions) Rose comes with a powerful expression evaluator (located in the `Expr` class), based on a lisp-like (or clojure-like if you would) language variation known as Violet. There are several built-in functions and you can find all of them in the [Documentation](./docs/README.md). FAQ === [](#faq) **Q: If there is no need to write host-language code, what happens when I need something new that is not doable using current functions?** A: Given such case, you're free to build your own Rose-extensions in the host-language, and use it in any expression. Read our extensions documentation for more information. ### Health Score 54 — FairBetter than 97% of packages Maintenance91 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity21 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity75 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 97.8% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
