Components

• abcodec: Command-line compiler for ABCode under Rust
• abcodejs: JavaScript transpilers (used by all components via BoaJS)
• abcodelib: ABCode compilation as Rust library
• abcodeweb: Web UI for online compilation and preview (like playground)
• abcoderun: ABCode Runtime Environment for Scripts
• abcodefun: ABCode Web Runtime for Functions execution platform (AWS Lambda-style)
• abcodeext: ABCode extensions for Editors (VSCode, Intellij, Vim, Zed, Lapce, Sublime, ACE.js)
