Changes since Idris 2 v0.1.0
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Compiler updates:
|
|
|
|
* Data types with a single constructor, with a single unerased arguments,
|
|
are translated to just that argument, to save repeated packing and unpacking.
|
|
(c.f. `newtype` in Haskell)
|
|
* 0-multiplicity constructor arguments are now properly erased, not just
|
|
given a placeholder null value.
|
|
|
|
Other improvements:
|
|
|
|
* Various performance improvements in the typechecker:
|
|
+ Noting which metavariables are blocking unification constraints, so that
|
|
they only get retried if those metavariables make progress.
|
|
+ Evaluating `fromInteger` at compile time.
|
|
+ In the run-time, reuse the old heap after garbage collection if it
|
|
hasn't been resized, to avoid unnecessary system calls.
|
|
|
|
* Extend Idris2's literate mode to support reading Markdown and OrgMode files.
|
|
For more details see: https://idris2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/literate.html
|
|
|
|
* Fields of records can be accessed (and updated) using the dot syntax,
|
|
such as `r.field1.field2` or `record { field1.field2 = 42 }`.
