Introduction to Shrew

Shrew files usually have the extension .sw. A Shrew program consists of a series of directives that define metadata, configuration, types, and computation graphs.

File Structure

A typical .sw file structure looks like this:

// Metadata about the model
@model { ... }

// Training or Inference configuration
@config { ... }

// Type definitions (optional aliases)
@types { ... }

// Computations graphs (functions)
@graph MyGraph(...) { ... }

Comments

Shrew supports C-style comments:

• Single line: // comment
• Multi-line: /* comment */
