two months of coastal living: coastML at two months

Today marks two months of coastal living; let’s checkout the running burndown chart:

• ✓ assignments

• ✓ functions

• ✓ case forms

  • ❏ thread assignments into case forms (e.g. a = case x …​ becomes case x | …​ { a = …​ })

• ✓ type forms

• ✓ Python generation

• ✓ decomposition in case forms

  • ✓ including pattern matching

  • ❏ array pattern matching

  • ❏ string pattern matching (this could get interesting…​)

• ✓ accessors (both variables and lambdas) for type

• ❏ gn forms

• ❏ fc forms

• ❏ mod and sig forms

• ❏ an analog to SML’s op, using backticks

• ❏ basis library (stubbed out, need to actually compile)

  • ✓ basic basis stubs: some members of array-, string-</emphasis> have been stubbed out

  • ❏ basis library modules (modular forms, e.g. array-get becomes Array::get)

• ❏ code generation

  • ❏ C

  • ❏ C++

  • ❏ Go

• ❏ type inference

• ❏ refinement types

• ❏ a compiler

  • ❏ lambda lifter

  • ❏ closure conversion

  • ❏ pragma to control certain aspects of compilation

• bugs fixed

  • ✓ nested arrays [[[1] [2]] [[3] [4]]]

  • ✓ missing / character in identifier/operator character sets

  • ✓ floating point numbers with two integral digits (e.g. 0.12 and 1.12 worked but not 10.12)

    • this was noticed when attempting to write some software to generate Julian dates

    • Was the calculation sheet I was using

Not bad all told really, esp the bug fixes! This month, I plan on working on more of the compiler side, as well as more basis library functions. I’d like to get some more basic programs out of the way, and maybe a C++ or Golang compiler as well, at least the start thereof.
