🚀 Getting Started 快速开始

# Clone with submodules 克隆含子模块
git clone --recursive https://github.com/your-repo/cat-lang

# Build with parallel compilation 并行编译
# Note: Adjust -jN based on your CPU cores
# 注意：根据CPU核心数调整-jN参数
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=23 ..
make -j$(nproc)  # 使用所有CPU核心加速编译

# For first-time contributors: 
# 首次贡献者建议：
# make -j2  # 更稳定的调试编译
