Changes

# v0.34.0 - 2021-03-13

-   Removed regex and =~ symbols, use search, replace, search-all, replace-apply instead.

Changes

# v0.33.0 - 2021-02-13

Breaking changes

-   #141 - The ’ symbol is now an alias of the quotesym symbol (but its behavior remains the same: it can be used to created quoted symbols from a string), and the ’ sigil is equivalent to the new quotesym symbol, not quote.

Fixes

-   #140 - It is now possible to invoke symbols on ROOT.
-   #147 - Fixed an error when processing operator output values.
-   Now adding help.json to installation folder when installing via nimble.
-   #151 - Added documentation for integer.
-   #152 - Now preventing infinite recursion in case a symbol evaluates to itself.

New features

-   #144 - The symbol type? is now able to check if a value satisfies a type expression, not only a simple type. Note however that it is now necessary to prepend dictionary types with dict: (as in type expressions).
-   #141 - A new quotesym symbol has been added to transform a string into a quoted symbol. This is equivalent to the behavior of the ’ sigil.

Changes

# v0.32.0 - 2021-02-06

Fixes

-   Added === at the end of integrated help descriptions (#127).
-   Fixed override propagation when setting isymbols in upper scopes (#133).

New features

-   New symbol: parent-scope (#117).

Lambda capturing in operator output values

You can now specify a lambda to be captured to an output value, like this:

     (
       symbol square
       (==> quot ^o)
       (
         (dup *) ~o
       )
     ) ::
     

Essentially, this allows you to push a lambda on the stack from an operator.

Note that:

-   Lambdas must be captured using the ^ sigil in signatures and bound using lambda-bind in the operator body.
-   Lambdas cannot be captured in input values (they have already been pushed on the stack).
-   Requiring a lambda as an output value effectively bypasses stack pollution checks. While this can be useful at times, use with caution!

Type Expressions

When specifying types in operator signatures or through the expect operator, you can specify a logical expression containing types and type classes joined with one of the following operators:

-   | (or)
-   & (and)
-   ! (not)

Suppose for example you defined the following type classes:

    (typeclass fiveplus
        (int :n ==> bool :o)
        (
          n 5 > @o
        )
    ) ::

    (typeclass tenminus
        (int :n ==> bool :o)
        (
          n 10 < @o
        )
    ) ::

    (typeclass even
        (int :n ==> bool :o)
        (
          n 2 mod 0 == @o
        )
    ) ::

You can combine them in a type expression as following:

    (symbol test
        (!even|tenminus&fiveplus :n ==> bool :o)
        (
          true @o
        )
    ) ::
    4 test  ; error
    6 test  ; true
    11 test ; true 

Type aliases

You can now define type aliases using the typealias operator.

For example, you can create an alias of part of the type expression used in the previous example, like this:

    'tenminus&fiveplus 'five-to-ten typealias

    (symbol test
        (!even|five-to-ten :n ==> bool :o)
        (
          true @o
        )
    ) ::

Note that: * Type aliases be used to create an alias for any type expression. * Aliased type expressions can contain standard min types, dictionary types, type classes, and even other type aliases. * The typealias operator actually creates lexically-scoped, typealias:-prefixed symbols that can be sealed, unsealed, and deleted exactly like other symbols.

Changes

# v0.31.0 - 2021-02-06

-   Implemented “auto-popping” by adding ! at the end of any symbol (#104).
-   Removed all symbols ending with ! as auto-popping will work instead.

Breaking changes

This release also introduces quite a lot of breaking changes aiming at addressing some language inconsistencies and making the language more stable overall (see #111 for more information).

Read this carefully! It is most likely that your code will break when you upgrade.

-   Removed quote-define (=) and quote-bind (#).
-   define (:) now auto-quote quotations as well.
-   To quickly bind a quotation to a symbol (and essentially create a symbol operator but with no validations or constraints), use the new lambda symbol or ^ (alias, sigil) – addresses also #114.
-   Removed typeclass and extended operator to create type classes as well.
-   Renamed string and float type names (used in operator signatures) to str and flt respectively.
-   Removed define-sigil, use operator instead.
-   Removed module and + (sigil); use require to create modules.
-   Removed call, ^ (sigil, alias – reused for lambda, see above); use invoke to access module/dictionary symbols.
-   Removed set-type symbol.
-   Removed ~ sigil (rarely used).
-   Renamed the following symbols:
    -   int -> integer
    -   bool -> boolean
    -   delete -> delete-symbol
    -   defined? -> defined-symbol?
    -   seal -> seal-symbol
    -   sealed? -> sealed-symbol?
    -   unseal -> unseal-symbol

Changes

# v0.19.0 - 2018-08-12

-   Removed development mode (-d switch); now running with expect checks enabled always. The minor performance increase was not worth giving up type checks.

Changes

# v0.17.0 - 2018-06-03

New Features

-   Introduced support for native dictionaries: {1 :a 2 :b 3 :c}
-   Native dictionaries are passed by reference. Use the new ddup symbol to create a copy of a dictionary.
-   Added new type? symbol to the logic module to check for typed dictionaries.
-   Added new set-type symbol to the lang module to specify the type for a dictionary.
-   expect now supports type unions: ("string|quot") expect

Breaking Changes

-   The old quote-based dictionary format (es.: (("a" 1) ("b" 2))) is no longer considered a dictionary.
-   dictionary? returns true only if the native type of the value is a dictionary.
-   dget, dset, dhas?, ddel, dvalues, dkeys, dpick now only operate on native dictionaries and have been moved to a new dict module, along with their corresponding sigils.
-   dsort symbol has been removed (all dictionaries are sorted by key).
-   [lang module] Renamed module-symbols and module-sigils to scope-symbols and scope-sigils respectively, and they now work on native dictionaries. Additionally, raise, format-error, opts, module, import, call, and publish now operate on native dictionaries (format-error requires a dictionary typed as error).
-   [time module] to-timestamp, and timeinfo now operate on native dictionaries (typed as timeinfo).
-   [net module] socket, listen, accept, and connect now operate on native dictionaries.
-   [http module] request and start-server now operate on native dictionaries.
-   [fs module] fstats now operates on native dictionaries.
-   [sys module] run now operates on native dictionaries.
-   JSON objects are now deserialized to dictionaries, and to-json can be used on any type of data.
-   Dictionaries are now serialized to JSON objects.
