![]() These were needed before as a way to _partially deserialize_ blueprints. Indeed, some commands required accessing information of the blueprint, but not necessarily the schema. So out of laziness (or cleverness?), we only deserialized validators as serde::Value and achieved that through the use of generics. Now that validators and schemas have proper deserialisers, we can simply deserialize a blueprint. TODO: Our serialisation/deserialisation is safe with regards to itself; i.e. it roundtrips. However, we only supports a subset of the specified blueprint format. For example, we would fail to deserialize blueprints that have inline data-schemas (we only use references). |

QuickStart
Prerequisites
For now you'll need rust installed, see rustup.
Getting started
In case you have fresh installation of rustup
you might need to do:
rustup install stable
$ cargo install --git https://github.com/aiken-lang/aiken.git
$ aiken --help
Alternatively nix builds are available via flakes.
How to use
For more information please see the user manual.
Roadmap
Aiken defines its roadmap using Github Milestones. The roadmap isn't set in stone, but gives a high-level overview of where the project is headed for.
