wootype is both an executable binary that can be run, and a library that can be used in Rust programs.

Installing `wootype` `wootype-daemon` executables

Assuming you have Rust/Cargo installed, run this command in a terminal:

cargo install wootype

It will make wootype wootype-daemon commands available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall wootype uninstalls.

Adding `wootype` library as a dependency

Run this command in a terminal, in your project's directory:

cargo add wootype

To add it manually, edit your project's Cargo.toml file and add to the [dependencies] section:

wootype = "0.2.1"

The wootype library will be automatically available globally. Read the wootype library documentation.

⚡ Blazing-fast Go Type System Service — 100-1000x faster than traditional type checking

wootype is an ultra-fast Go type checking engine written in Rust, featuring incremental computation architecture (Salsa) and ECS storage model for sub-millisecond type checking response.

📦 Installation

From crates.io

cargo install wootype

From Source

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/wootype.git
cd wootype
cargo install --path . --release

Pre-built Binaries

# Linux x86_64
curl -L https://github.com/yourusername/wootype/releases/latest/download/wootype-linux-amd64 -o wootype
chmod +x wootype
sudo mv wootype /usr/local/bin/

🚀 Quick Start

As a Library

use wootype::prelude::*;
use std::sync::Arc;

// Create type universe
let universe = Arc::new(TypeUniverse::new());

// Perform type checking
let result = universe.check_file("main.go");

// Incremental update
let delta = universe.check_incremental(changes);

Type Query

use wootype::core::{TypeUniverse, TypeKind, PrimitiveType};
use wootype::query::QueryEngine;
use std::sync::Arc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let universe = Arc::new(TypeUniverse::new());
    let engine = QueryEngine::new(universe);
    
    // Query by fingerprint
    let fingerprint = PrimitiveType::Int.fingerprint();
    let results = engine.query_by_fingerprint(fingerprint);
    
    for ty in results {
        println!("Found type: {:?}", ty);
    }
}

AI Agent Session

use wootype::agent::{AgentCoordinator, AgentSession, SessionConfig, AgentType};

// Create coordinator
let coordinator = AgentCoordinator::new();

// Create session
let config = SessionConfig {
    agent_type: AgentType::TypeChecker,
    isolation_level: IsolationLevel::ReadCommitted,
    ..Default::default()
};

let session = coordinator.create_session(config);

// Perform type checking in session
let result = session.check_types("main.go");

As LSP Server

# Start LSP service
wootype daemon --port 8080

# Or use stdio mode
wootype lsp

Type Query CLI

# Check file types
wootype check main.go

# Query symbol type
wootype query --symbol "MyStruct" --file main.go

# Start type checking service
wootype serve --port 8080

# WebSocket mode
wootype ws --port 8081
