GocciaScript
Installation

Get GocciaScript on your machine.

Pick the install method that fits your platform. The runtime is a single self-contained binary — no Node.js, no toolchain, no global state.

Pre-1.0 release. The public API is still being shaped — anything documented can change between any two releases until 1.0.0 ships. Pin a specific version in CI and check the release notes before upgrading.

Latest version 0.7.1 released April 29, 2026
