CHANGES.md.html

0.3.3 2019-01-08

  • Rely on the Ramda.js library for JS transpilation. (Currently broken because of numerical primitives and a lack of a Complex number solution for Javascript).

  • Full numerical tower comprising Integer (Natural) numbers, Floating Point (Real) numbers and Complex numbers, with dynamic number-type infering arithmetical primitives.

  • Switch between pure and impure primitives.

  • Simple I/O primitives for printing.

  • More examples and features descriptions in the README file.

0.3.2 2019-01-03

Added

  • Reworking of language internals.

  • Fixed build process

  • More primitives and operators.

  • AST optimizations based on propositional calculus laws.

  • Experimental Javascript transpiler! :)

0.3.1 2019-12-26

Added

  • map2 primitive

  • Reading programs from files

  • An abstraction that allows treating primitives as functions, and so allows currying and all the fancy stuff.

  • Examples in the examples/ directory

  • Greater or equal to and Less than or equal to operators

  • More test coverage.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed various bugs of 0.3

0.3 2019-12-25

Added

  • A simple AST optimizer

  • Multiple let assignments (let x = 2 and y = 3 and z = ... in ...)

  • Function currying (partial application)

  • Strings

  • Sequences of expressions separated with ; are treated as a single expression that returns the value of the last one.

  • Function pipelining (reverse composition) with the >=> operator. ((fun x y -> x + y >=> g) 1 2 is g 3)

  • Dictionaries ({"hello": 123, "world": 345})

  • Map, foldl and filter on lists and dictionaries

  • Testing and code coverage using alcotest and bisect_ppx

Bugfixes

  • Fixed function application parser

0.2.2 2019-12-13

Added

  • let lazy rec (or let rec lazy) to define recursive lazy functions

  • Command line option parser and man page

  • Command line option -v (--verbose) to tell the REPL to show the AST and reduction steps.

  • Evaluation step printing is now done in correct order and nesting.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed boolean primitives.

Removed

  • lazyfun and lazylambda statements.

0.2.1 2019-12-12

Added

  • Optional lazy evaluation! You can use let lazy to define values that will be evaluated only when encountered in the let lazy expression body.

  • Lazy anonymous functions! Just like the let lazy statement you can now use lazyfun or lazylambda to define anonymous functions which arguments will be lazily evaluated.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed precedence levels in parser

Roadmap

  • Cache for lazy evaluation

  • Partial application

0.2 2019-12-08

Added

  • Lists

  • Unit

0.1 2019-12-03

Added

  • Initial release of the project
