JLambda
|
|
|
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
JLambda is a functional language in the spirit of languages such as Scheme,
|
|
|
|
|
SML, or Clean. It aims to have a very flexible syntax and a clean and easy to
|
|
|
|
|
understand type system. Another goal is to generate very efficient JavaScript
|
|
|
|
|
code and possibly native code as well. Currently the type system is still being
|
|
|
|
|
conceived, and the various parts that conspire to generate actual code are
|
|
|
|
|
being written and will likely change quite a bit. It is possible to parse code
|
|
|
|
|
and generate a pretty printed version of it (see example.jl for what the syntax
|
|
|
|
|
looks like at the moment).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
JLambda also aims to support concurrency which will be built on a
|
|
|
|
|
continuation-passing style intermediate language. I have not figured out how
|
|
|
|
|
scheduling threads will work, or whether I will provide any programmer directed
|
|
|
|
|
way of scheduling (i.e. yield).
