// In good first issue
// To implement.
- refactor the build.bat script.
- no __file__ for core modules.
- def f(x)
f(x) ## not tco, unless return f(x)
end
if a function's last statement is a call, we can perform tco.
- implement 'lang.getMaxCallDepth()' (default=1000 like python) and
setMaxCallDepth(val) to change stack size at runtime.
- change or add => to_string() to value.as_string
and add as_repr, as_bool.
- Make bool and num are incompatible (also it increase performance a bit).
1 + true - make it not allowed.
- literal function recursive call.
fn = func(a, b)
this(a, b) // Something like this.
fn(a, b) // May be closure support?
end
- Implement utf8 support.
- Implement gdb like debugger (add color print for readability).
- Initialize imported scripts (require fiber based vm).
- Complete all the TODO; macros.
- implement MAX_ARGC checks (would cause a buffer overflow if not)
when compiling and calling a function (also in fibers).
// Low priority.
- Ignore line with '\' character.
- Make it possible to override function names.
- To do so the functions and global variables should be in the same
buffer as the property of the script.
- Union tagging alter in var.
// Add more.
- Single header for embedding (script in pk, require file IO).
- Complete core methods.
- Complete var methods.
- Complete core functions.
- Complete builtin operators.
- Complete opcodes.
- Complete core libs.
- Complete the docs.
- More Tests.
// Enhancements
- Write a custom hex() function to cast uint64_t to hex
string (currently our max is uint32_t) and for binary
(C doesn't have a sprintf("%b", num) for us.
- Ensure that the bitwise operation result `a << b` can be fit
into a double value before casting it to one. and we're allowing
the integer overflow when shifting.
// Bugs.
It's at pre-alpha and every thing is left to
implement, and nothing would be work as expected.
- f = func print() end; print(f) # semicolon should be there.
def f() print() end print(f) # semicolon should be there.
make it okay to use semicolon freely like new lines.
- REPL error message should be the first one (not the last).
>>> def f()
... _f = func()
... _f() // _f not defined (no closure).
... end
Error: Expected an expression // expected Name '_f' not defined.
