Overview
========
[copilot-core](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/copilot-core) The core
language, which efficiently represents Copilot expressions. The core is only of
interest to implementers wishing to add a new back-end to Copilot.
Copilot is a stream (i.e., infinite lists) domain-specific language (DSL) in
Haskell that compiles into embedded C. Copilot is similar in spirit to
languages like Lustre. Copilot contains an interpreter, multiple back-end
compilers, and other verification tools.
Installation
============
The Copilot library is cabalized. Assuming you have cabal and the GHC compiler
installed (the [Haskell Platform](http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/) is the
easiest way to obtain these), it should merely be a matter of running
cabal install copilot-core
However, we strongly recommend you install Copilot, which installs copilot-c99
and other packages automatically. Execute
cabal install copilot
