项目历史

The never-lang/never repository is the main source. GitHub showed roughly 462 stars, 12 forks, 599 commits, six releases, and latest release v2.3.9 dated 2023-09-02 when researched on 2026-07-01. The Homebrew formula also reported stable 2.3.9.

采用历史

Never has visible source availability and modest GitHub interest, but package-manager adoption is tiny. Homebrew analytics reported 7 install-on-request events in the 30-day and 90-day windows and 19 over 365 days. That makes it a niche language package rather than a commonly used runtime.

使用方式

The README documents building with `cmake ..; make` after installing gcc, glibc, bison/flex, libm, libdl, and libffi. It also documents Emscripten builds for asm.js and WebAssembly targets, including calling the compiled module from JavaScript via `Module.cwrap`.

Package nerds are most likely to install Never to inspect a compact compiler/runtime, try example programs, or experiment with a small language that targets native builds and browser-oriented wasm/asm.js output. There is not enough source-backed evidence to claim broad production use.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

Never is interesting as a small language implementation and Homebrew-packaged compiler, not as a major language ecosystem. Its value for av.db history is mostly provenance, target support, and the fact that it is maintained enough to have a 2023 release and a Homebrew formula.
