Point

Point is an AI-first general-purpose language for application logic — semantic blocks you write, JavaScript the machine runs.

Start: Point in 60 seconds (in repo docs)

Install

Requires Bun on PATH.

bun install -g @hatchingpoint/point
point create my-app
cd my-app
point check src/app.point
point dev src/app.point

Also works: npm install -g @hatchingpoint/point.

point box src/app.point          # discover capabilities + commands
point launch src/app.point admin demo
point capabilities               # list built-in std modules

Pair with the Point Language extension in VS Code or Cursor.

What you write vs what runs

You author .point. New apps scaffold as runtime-owned runtime-app projects by default: point dev runs the interpreter, HTTP server, and SSR from packages/point/runtime/. Use --template runtime-saas-app for runtime-owned auth middleware and SQLite without Vite. Legacy Vite/React hosts remain available with --template full-stack-app or --template saas-app.

Built-in import:

capabilities http json

This package exposes:

• point CLI through src/cli.ts
• core language APIs through @hatchingpoint/point/core
• std runtime shims under @hatchingpoint/point/std/*

Core workflow (repo development):

bun run fmt-check
bun run check
bun run ci
