Introduction

flowG — The flowG FunctionGraph IR — types, codegen, runtime, OpDispatch backends, energy receipts.

This is the official documentation for flowG. The full source code lives in the private -core mirror; the public release surface is at openIE-dev/flow-g.

What you'll find here

• Install — get the flowg binary on your machine
• Hello, flowG — first program in 30 seconds
• Tutorial — a 30-minute hands-on guided tour

The openIE-dev ecosystem

flowG is one of five public openIE-dev projects. All five share a common substrate (flowG) and energy-metering layer (substrate-energy):

• flow-g — the IR + runtime substrate
• lux-lang — reactive language compiling to flowG
• jmax — math-native language
• joule-lang — energy-budgeted compiled language
• jouledb — energy-metered database
