@anmonteiro has helped me a lot on discord and I have borrowed most of the fileserver part from his graphql example.

Development

You need Esy, you can install the beta using [npm][]:

% npm install -g esy@latest

Then you can install the project dependencies using:

% esy install

Then build the project dependencies along with the project itself:

% esy build

Now you can run your editor within the environment (which also includes merlin):

% esy $EDITOR
% esy vim

After you make some changes to source code, you can re-run project's build using:

% esy build

And test compiled executable:

% esy ./_build/default/bin/Main.exe
