Command Patterns
Rye supports several command patterns:
Console
The Rye console is an interactive environment for evaluating Rye code and exploring the language. It provides specialized functions for navigating contexts, discovering available functions, and understanding the structure of your program’s environment.
Entering the Rye console
When you start Rye with the rye command, you enter the interactive console. A new context is created with the builtin functions available as the parent context.
$ rye
Welcome to Rye console
x> ; your cursor will be here
Exploring contexts
The Rye environment is organized around contexts - containers for words (variables and functions). You can navigate and explore these contexts using console-specific functions.
