doppio is a double shot of espresso. In this case, it’s also a POSIX-compatible runtime system plus a JVM written in TypeScript and an active research project of the PLASMA group at the University of Massachusetts.

To try doppio now, head to the live demo page.

To learn more, read some [documentation]!(docs), or read our academic paper (alt. link w/ no paywall) published at PLDI 2014!

Getting & Building the Code

Section titled “Getting & Building the Code”

Before attempting to build doppio, you must have the following installed:

  • Node v6.0 or higher
    • There is a bug that prevents you from compiling DoppioJVM with Node v4 and below.
  • NPM package grunt-cli installed globally
    • npm install -g grunt-cli
  • Java 8 JDK
  • (Recommended) Yarn

If you are on Windows, you will need the following installed:

  • Git (must be on your PATH)
  • Python (must be on your PATH)
  • A version of Visual Studio

Run the following commands to build doppio. Note that your first time building may take some time, as the build script will download the entire Java Class Library.

git clone https://github.com/plasma-umass/doppio.git
cd doppio
yarn install       # npm install should work if you do not have yarn
grunt release      # For browser integration.
grunt release-cli  # For command-line use.

Testing

Section titled “Testing”

Run the full test suite using node.js:
