Please tell me what you honestly think of it — this is not a ‘labor of love’ exactly, I only spent a few hours on it. But I think its a strong foundation for what comes next. The implementation, I hope, will be an orgy of love!
I am intentionally not giving an example because I want people to give one, just to make sure how ‘comprehensible’ my grammar-writing skills are. So, what do you think it looks like?
I will give an example for the upcoming versions.
Also, I think there is not need for an example, it’s just your run-off-the-mill ML-like language.
Thanks.
You showed up! So, about this, you see how ‘let’ binding does not allow you to add parameters right? (the val binding does) I think this is a good place to use tacitness. I will basically add Perl-like, POSX-shell-like features. To further add concatativenss, I shall add OCaml-style shell (|>). I will take a page from F#'s book and add a ‘<|’ too. I was originally planning to have these two operators be defined orthogonal-like via the operator binders (infix, infixr etc) but I think it’s necessary to bake them in.
So any other cool stuff? I plan on having intrinsics like ‘add’ and ‘or’ etc. Since it is translated down to C, I will add a two-way FFI, similar to the language I am writing it in, Cyclone Scheme.
THANKS.
