It translates high-level CLVM source code into lower-level bytecode that runs on the CLVM virtual machine. The compiler supports defining functions with `defun`, macros with `defmacro`, inline functions with `defun-inline`, and provides operators like `mod` for module definition, `if` for lazy conditional evaluation, and `qq`/`unquote` for template expansion.\n\nThe package is primarily used by Chia blockchain developers to write transaction-encumbrance logic\u2014code that controls when and how funds can be spent. It handles both the parsing and compilation phases, auto-quoting literals and expanding macros at compile time. The tool is invoked via command-line utilities (`run` to compile, `brun` to execute) or as a library, and it depends on clvm for the underlying virtual machine and clvm-tools-rs for performance-critical compilation steps.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing on Chia blockchain or need to work with CLVM. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and carries a permissive license. It is in Alpha status, so expect occasional API changes; however, the 660-day release cycle and active repository suggest stability for production use. Install only if CLVM compilation is a direct requirement for your project."},"id":"clvm-tools","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/clvm-tools","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/clvm-tools.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/clvm-tools/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"clvm-tools","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"CLVM compiler."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":122146,"position":11958,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.10"}
