The Dowe compiler handles parsing, analysis, lowering, routing, runtime behavior, and target generation, enabling developers to describe views, data, and server intent in one source model. Dowe targets the AI era by allowing agents to edit intent while the compiler keeps the system coherent, generating checked software for multiple platforms.", "body_md": "DOWE / INSTALL\n\nDOWE-NATIVEInstall Dowe in seconds.\n\n```\ncurl -fsSL https://get.dowe.dev/install | bash\npowershell -c \"irm https://get.dowe.dev/install.ps1 | iex\"\n```\n\nTHE DOWE LOOP\n\nSOURCE IN.
