std

The PekoScript standard library.

std is a normal PekoScript package, but it is installed once at the global Peko root during toolchain setup and is always available. Projects do not list it as an ordinary dependency; its version is tied to the installed toolchain and compiler. Modules are reached through the std:: prefix, for example std::collections or std::json.

Modules

• core - the base types and the language prelude: numbers, strings, optionals, the object model, and the logical and comparison traits.
• collections - dynamic arrays, maps, and the common collection traits.
• crypto - hashing and cryptographic primitives, backed by a vendored libsodium build.
• fs - files and directories: reading, writing, and path operations.
• io - console input and output.
• json - JSON parsing and serialization.
• xml - XML parsing and serialization.
• random - random number generation.
• sockets - TCP and UDP sockets, a TLS transport backed by BearSSL, and a WebSocket client.
• threads - native threads and synchronization primitives.
• process - spawn child processes, stream their output, and wait on them.
• runtime - low-level bridges to the garbage collector and runtime.
• lexer - a lexer used by tooling.

Native code

Several modules compile from C sources under c/. The garbage collector and runtime are built from c/runtime. Prebuilt static libraries for libsodium (backing crypto) and BearSSL (backing the TLS transport in sockets) are vendored per platform and architecture.
