- Allow `Map` to store a `Nothing` key (fixes `Vector.distinct` with a `Nothing`).
- Add `column_names` method to `Table` as a shorthand.
- Return data flow error when comparing with Nothing (not a Panic or a Polyglot exception).
- Allow milli and micro second for DateTime and Time Of Day
# Important Notes
- Added a load of tests for the various comparison operators to Numbers_Spec.
It appears that we were always adding builtin methods to the scope of the module and the builtin type that shared the same name.
This resulted in some methods being accidentally available even though they shouldn't.
This change treats differently builtins of types and modules and introduces auto-registration feature for builtins.
By default all builtin methods are registered with a type, unless explicitly defined in the annotation property.
Builtin methods that are auto-registered do not have to be explicitly defined and are registered with the underlying type.
Registration correctly infers the right type, depending whether we deal with static or instance methods.
Builtin methods that are not auto-registered have to be explicitly defined **always**. Modules' builtin methods are the prime example.
# Important Notes
Builtins now carry information whether they are static or not (inferred from the lack of `self` parameter).
They also carry a `autoRegister` property to determine if a builtin method should be automatically registered with the type.
Two fixes in `EnsoCompilerTest` to align new parser with the previous behavior.
# Important Notes
Removes two `@Ignore` annotations. One test was already working. Another one is fixed by Kaz's idea to ignore _"empty block"_ application.
Libraries: Revert changes that were necessitated by a new rule we have decided not to introduce.
Parser:
- Support mixed constructors/bindings in types.
- Disallow zero-length hex sequences in character escapes: `\x`, `\u`, `\u{}`, `\U`, `\U{}` are no longer legal synonyms for `\0` (matches old parser behavior).
Computing length of a text takes time. Let's cache it after first computation.
# Important Notes
Wrote `StringBenchmarks` that sums lengths of (the same) `Text` present many time in a `Vector`. Initially it took `383.673 ms` per operation. Then it took `0.031 ms/op`. Looks like the `length` calls are returning instantly as they get cached.
This PR mimics test cases from #3860 and makes sure `IR.Syntax.Error` is constructed at appropriate places rather than just yielding an `UnhandledEntity` exception.
# Important Notes
Merge before #3611 to minimize disruption when changing the parser.
Another set of improvements extracted from #3611. This time it includes a fix to the Rust part of the parser.
# Important Notes
After digging into metadata parsing I realized the positions used to query the BTree data structure are wrong. This PR tries to address that by re-arranging the order of serialized fields and passing `startCode` and `endCode` locations in.
Originally I though I need changes on the Rust side to support `in` operator. Turned out I can do that just with changes on the Java side.
Qualified names in imports were missing UUIDs. Fixed now.
To minimize differences between #3611 and `develop` branch I propose to make following code changes that seem to work fine with the old as well as new parser. In addition to that there are new tests comparing the two parsers.
# Important Notes
Old parser is still used everywhere except `EnsoCompilerTest` where the test compares `IR`s constructed by both parsers.
Another set of fixes extracted from #3611. `CodeLocationsTest` test has been made more flexible to allow _"off by one"_ differences in the offset locations between the old and new parser.
Fix bugs in `TreeToIr` (rewrite) and parser. Implement more undocumented features in parser. Emulate some old parser bugs and quirks for compatibility.
Changes in libs:
- Fix some bugs.
- Clean up some odd syntaxes that the old parser translates idiosyncratically.
- Constructors are now required to precede methods.
# Important Notes
Out of 221 files:
- 215 match the old parser
- 6 contain complex types the old parser is known not to handle correctly
So, compared to the old parser, the new parser parses 103% of files correctly.
This PR adds `Period` type, which is a date-only complement to `Duration` builtin type.
# Important Notes
- `Period` replaces `Date_Period`, and `Time_Period`.
- Added shorthand constructors for `Duration` and `Period`. For example: `Period.days 10` instead of `Period.new days=10`.
- `Period` can be compared to other `Period` in some cases, other cases throw an error.
Define start of Enso epoch as 15th of October 1582 - start of the Gregorian calendar.
# Important Notes
- Some (Gregorian) calendar related functionalities within `Date` and `Date_Time` now produces a warning if the receiving Date/Date_Time is before the epoch start, e.g., `week_of_year`, `is_leap_year`, etc.
1. Changes how we do monadic state – rather than a haskelly solution, we now have an implicit env with mutable data inside. It's better for the JVM. It also opens the possibility to have state ratained on exceptions (previously not possible) – both can now be implemented.
2. Introduces permission check system for IO actions.
Moved loading of Builtin Types and Methods to a static initializer. That way the information is available at Native Image build time and one does not have to update a corresponding entry in `reflect-config` which would be a real pain when we start using it in anger.
Fixes https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/183374932
Most of the time, rather than defining the type of the parameter of the builtin, we want to accept every Array-like object i.e. Vector, Array, polyglot Array etc.
Rather than writing all possible combinations, and likely causing bugs on the way anyway as we already saw, one should use `CoerceArrayNode` to convert to Java's `Object[]`.
Added various test cases to illustrate the problem.
Another part of #3611 with few more `TreeToIr` improvements.
# Important Notes
Unofficial `LoadParser.sh` check from #3611 of all library files now reports just 54 failures out of 222 files - e.g. 75% success rate.
A new test to verify that some `Standard.Base` library files can be parsed by the new parser is added. Use it as:
```bash
$ sbt bootstrap
$ sbt buildEngineDistribution
$ sbt "runtime/testOnly *ParseStdLibTest"
```
By having this test instantly available we can block integration of PRs that would decrease the number of parseable files or introduce new files that aren't paseable.
# Important Notes
The test contains a _black list_ of classes that are currently known to fail. Over the time the _black list_ shall get smaller and smaller.
The main culprit of a Vector slowdown (when compared to Array) was the normalization of the index when accessing the elements. Turns out that the Graal was very persistent on **not** inlining that particular fragment and that was degrading the results in benchmarks.
Being unable to force it to do it (looks like a combination of thunk execution and another layer of indirection) we resorted to just moving the normalization to the builtin method. That makes Array and Vector perform roughly the same.
Moved all handling of invalid index into the builtin as well, simplifying the Enso implementation. This also meant that `Vector.unsafe_at` is now obsolete.
Additionally, added support for negative indices in Array, to behave in the same way as for Vector.
# Important Notes
Note that this workaround only addresses this particular perf issue. I'm pretty sure we will have more of such scenarios.
Before the change `averageOverVector` benchmark averaged around `0.033 ms/op` now it does consistently `0.016 ms/op`, similarly to `averageOverArray`.
Another part of #3611 ready for integration into `develop` branch.
# Important Notes
Test `org.enso.compiler.EnsoCompilerTest.testTestGroup` is ignored as it has problems with source offsets - identifiers don't have the appropriate names due to `Tree.codeRepr()` being _off_.
Improve `Unsupported_Argument_Types` error so that it includes the message from the original exception. `arguments` field is retained, but not included in `to_display_text` method.
- Special precedence rules for case-of so that `:` operator works without parens or nospace-grouping.
- Support an old-lambda syntax: `x->x-> x`. According to the usual rules, the first nospace group would be parsed as an operator section. The expression now parses as a lambda that contains a lambda.
- Match old parser treatment of # in doc comments.
- Tweak precedence so (a : B = c) works.
- Documented constructors.
Trying to invoke a foreign method with non-installed language (either not enabled in the Truffle `Context`, or not installed in the GraalVM distribution) results in `Polyglot_Error`, rather than crashing the entire engine.
- Reimplement the `Duration` type to a built-in type.
- `Duration` is an interop type.
- Allow Enso method dispatch on `Duration` interop coming from different languages.
# Important Notes
- The older `Duration` type should now be split into new `Duration` builtin type and a `Period` type.
- This PR does not implement `Period` type, so all the `Period`-related functionality is currently not working, e.g., `Date - Period`.
- This PR removes `Integer.milliseconds`, `Integer.seconds`, ..., `Integer.years` extension methods.
When trying to resolve an invalid method of a polyglot array we were reaching a state where no specialization applied.
Turns out we can now simplify the logic of inferring polyglot call type for arrays and avoid the crash.
- Implement macro-contexts-lite (`from` is now only a keyword at the beginning of a line)
- Support special nospace-group handling for old lambdas (so expressions like this work: `x-> y-> x + y`)
- Fix a text-escape incompatibility
# Important Notes
- There is now an `OperatorFunction`, which is like a `Function` but has an operator for a name, and likewise an `OperatorTypeSignature`.
`.find(...)` wasn't equivalent to `.map(...).exists(identity)` in this case because of side-effects related to diagnostics reporting. That is why we were reporting errors only for the first erroneous module.
/cc @jdunkerley
c&p failure, so it was generating a very small Vector. Surprisingly, it indicates similar problems with `@ExplodeLoop` in `CatchTypeBranchNode`.
Kudos to @JaroslavTulach for reporting it.
Missing `@TruffleBoundary` annotations and entries in the configs were preventing us from generating native image. Again.
# Important Notes
@mwu-tow This check is easy to miss so it would be good to have it in CI.
Changelog
- fix reporting of runtime type for values annotated with warning
- fix visualizations of values annotated with warnings
- fix `Runtime.get_stack_trace` failure in interactive mode
This change brings by-type pattern matching to Enso.
One can pattern match on Enso types as well as on polyglot types.
For example,
```
case x of
_ : Integer -> ...
_ : Text -> ...
_ -> ...
```
as well as Java's types
```
case y of
_ : ArrayList -> ...
_ : List -> ...
_ : AbstractList -> ...
_ -> ..
```
It is no longer possible to match a value with a corresponding type constructor.
For example
```
case Date.now of
Date -> ...
```
will no longer match and one should match on the type (`_ : Date`) instead.
```
case Date of
Date -> ...
```
is fine though, as requested in the ticket.
The change required further changes to `type_of` logic which wasn't dealing well with polyglot values.
Implements https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/183188846
# Important Notes
~I discovered late in the game that nested patterns involving type patterns, such as `Const (f : Foo) tail -> ...` are not possible due to the old parser logic.
I would prefer to add it in a separate PR because this one is already getting quite large.~ This is now supported!
PR adds special kind of jobs for visualizations. It should
- prevent cancelling visualization jobs when the program is re-executed (resulting in the fact that visualization is not showing up)
- omit unnecessary executions of visualization jobs (the case when the user goes through menu items in the component browser)
I skipped the tests because testing of the last scenario involves indeterminism. I.e. when preparing the test, we can't control which of submitted visualization jobs will be actually executed, and which will be cancelled.
When nodes get invalidated in the cache, they have to be recomputed. Let the IDE know which of the nodes are pending by sending `Api.ExpressionUpdate.Payload.Pending` message.
# Important Notes
This PR introduces new `Api.ExpressionUpdate.Payload.Pending` message. This message is delivered before re-computation of nodes. Later `Api.ExpressionUpdate.Payload.Value` or other is sent to notify the IDE that a value for given node is available.
Trivial implementation of of the `Api.ExpressionUpdate.Payload.Pending` message in the IDE is provided by this PR to (improperly) visualize pending node status - further improvements needed in follow up PRs.
Makes statics static. A type and its instances have different methods defined on them, as it should be. Constructors are now scoped in types, and can be imported/exported.
# Important Notes
The method of fixing stdlib chosen here is to just not. All the conses are exported to make all old code work. All such instances are marked with `TODO Dubious constructor export` so that it can be found and fixed.
This change implements a simple `type_of` method that returns a type of a given value, including for polyglot objects.
The change also allows for pattern matching on various time-related instances. It is a nice-to-have on its own, but it was primarily needed here to write some tests. For equality checks on types we currently can't use `==` due to a known _feature_ which essentially does wrong dispatching. This will be improved in the upcoming statics PR so we agreed that there is no point in duplicating that work and we can replace it later.
Also, note that this PR changes `Meta.is_same_object`. Comparing types revealed that it was wrong when comparing polyglot wrappers over the same value.
Use an `ArraySlice` to slice `Vector`.
Avoids memory copying for the slice function.
# Important Notes

This PR adds a possibility to generate native-image for engine-runner.
Note that due to on-demand loading of stdlib, programs that make use of it are currently not yet supported
(that will be resolved at a later point).
The purpose of this PR is only to make sure that we can generate a bare minimum runner because due to lack TruffleBoundaries or misconfiguration in reflection config, this can get broken very easily.
To generate a native image simply execute:
```
sbt> engine-runner-native/buildNativeImage
... (wait a few minutes)
```
The executable is called `runner` and can be tested via a simple test that is in the resources. To illustrate the benefits
see the timings difference between the non-native and native one:
```
>time built-distribution/enso-engine-0.0.0-dev-linux-amd64/enso-0.0.0-dev/bin/enso --no-ir-caches --in-project test/Tests/ --run engine/runner-native/src/test/resources/Factorial.enso 6

```
# Important Notes
Notice that due to a [bug in GraalVM](https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/4200), which is already fixed in 22.x, and us still being on 21.x for the time being, I had to add a workaround to our sbt build to build a different fat jar for native image. To workaround it I had to exclude sqlite jar. Hence native image task is on `engine-runner-native` and not on `engine-runner`.
Will need to add the above command to CI.
Turns that if you import a two-part import we had special code that would a) add Main submodule b) add an explicit rename.
b) is problematic because sometimes we only want to import specific names.
E.g.,
```
from Bar.Foo import Bar, Baz
```
would be translated to
```
from Bar.Foo.Main as Foo import Bar, Baz
```
and it should only be translated to
```
from Bar.Foo.Main import Bar, Baz
```
This change detects this scenario and does not add renames in that case.
Fixes [183276486](https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/183276486).
IR cache never really took into account a situation when a binding from the imported module has changed. In other words, it would continue to happily use the serialized metadata without noticing that it changed.
This change forces cache invalidation when any of the imported modules was invalidated (or rather not loaded from cache).
# Important Notes
Added simple test infrastructure that simulates file modifications that would trigger the initial cache invalidation.
If they succeed, cache invalidation is propagated thus causing an error.
`Vector` type is now a builtin type. This requires a bunch of additional builtin methods for its creation:
- Use `Vector.from_array` to convert any array-like structure into a `Vector` [by copy](f628b28f5f)
- Use (already existing) `Vector.from_polyglot_array` to convert any array-like structure into a `Vector` **without** copying
- Use (already existing) `Vector.fill 1 item` to create a singleton `Vector`
Additional, for pattern matching purposes, we had to implement a `VectorBranchNode`. Use following to match on `x` being an instance of `Vector` type:
```
import Standard.Base.Data.Vector
size = case x of
Vector.Vector -> x.length
_ -> 0
```
Finally, `VectorLiterals` pass that transforms `[1,2,3]` to (roughly)
```
a1 = 1
a2 = 2
a3 = 3
Vector (Array (a1,a2, a3))
```
had to be modified to generate
```
a1 = 1
a2 = 2
a3 = 3
Vector.from_array (Array (a1, a2, a3))
```
instead to accomodate to the API changes. As of 025acaa676 all the known CI checks passes. Let's start the review.
# Important Notes
Matching in `case` statement is currently done via `Vector_Data`. Use:
```
case x of
Vector.Vector_Data -> True
```
until a better alternative is found.
Many engine PRs modify builtins or other engine internals and then they are subject to [incremental CI runtime errors](https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/2539304/stories/182868680) as outdated `IR` caches from global space at `~/.local/share/enso/cache/ir/Standard/Builtins/0.0.0-dev/0.0.0-dev/Standard/Builtins` are read in.
This PR provides solution for that problem by explicitly defining `IR.Module` `serialVersionUID`. By changing the `serialVersionUID` one prevents previously saved `IR` caches to be loaded into the running process. Change the `serialVersionUID` whenever you see errors caused by reading outdated `IR` caches in the CI.
# Important Notes
Whenever one needs to avoid loading previous `IR` caches, go to `case class IR.Module` and change the `@SerialVersionUID(3692L)` to **number of your pull request**.
Found a bug when accessing keys via `get(constructor)`. Providing a test and a fix.
# Important Notes
Marcin, is it correct that the whole set of members of `End` is: `[head, tail, Int, is_empty, IntList]`? What does `Int` and `IntList` do there? Shall test test check for their presence? **Answer**: rename `Int` and `IntList` to lowercase and yes, then the members shall be there. Done in [ca9f42a](ca9f42a2b8).
This is a step towards the new language spec. The `type` keyword now means something. So we now have
```
type Maybe a
Some (from_some : a)
None
```
as a thing one may write. Also `Some` and `None` are not standalone types now – only `Maybe` is.
This halfway to static methods – we still allow for things like `Number + Number` for backwards compatibility. It will disappear in the next PR.
The concept of a type is now used for method dispatch – with great impact on interpreter code density.
Some APIs in the STDLIB may require re-thinking. I take this is going to be up to the libraries team – some choices are not as good with a semantically different language. I've strived to update stdlib with minimal changes – to make sure it still works as it did.
It is worth mentioning the conflicting constructor name convention I've used: if `Foo` only has one constructor, previously named `Foo`, we now have:
```
type Foo
Foo_Data f1 f2 f3
```
This is now necessary, because we still don't have proper statics. When they arrive, this can be changed (quite easily, with SED) to use them, and figure out the actual convention then.
I have also reworked large parts of the builtins system, because it did not work at all with the new concepts.
It also exposes the type variants in SuggestionBuilder, that was the original tiny PR this was based on.
PS I'm so sorry for the size of this. No idea how this could have been smaller. It's a breaking language change after all.
- Added `Zone`, `Date_Time` and `Time_Of_Day` to `Standard.Base`.
- Renamed `Zone` to `Time_Zone`.
- Added `century`.
- Added `is_leap_year`.
- Added `length_of_year`.
- Added `length_of_month`.
- Added `quarter`.
- Added `day_of_year`.
- Added `Day_Of_Week` type and `day_of_week` function.
- Updated `week_of_year` to support ISO.
# Important Notes
- Had to pass locale to formatter for date/time tests to work on my PC.
- Changed default of `week_of_year` to use ISO.
Implements https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/182879865
# Important Notes
Note that removing `set_at` still does not make our arrays fully immutable - `Array.copy` can still be used to mutate them.
* Builtin Date_Time, Time_Of_Day, Zone
Improved polyglot support for Date_Time (formerly Time), Time_Of_Day and
Zone. This follows the pattern introduced for Enso Date.
Minor caveat - in tests for Date, had to bend a lot for JS Date to pass.
This is because JS Date is not really only a Date, but also a Time and
Timezone, previously we just didn't consider the latter.
Also, JS Date does not deal well with setting timezones so the trick I
used is to first call foreign function returning a polyglot JS Date,
which is converted to ZonedDateTime and only then set the correct
timezone. That way none of the existing tests had to be changes or
special cased.
Additionally, JS deals with milliseconds rather than nanoseconds so
there is loss in precision, as noted in Time_Spec.
* Add tests for Java's LocalTime
* changelog
* Make date formatters in table happy
* PR review, add more tests for zone
* More tests and fixed a bug in column reader
Column reader didn't take into account timezone but that was a mistake
since then it wouldn't map to Enso's Date_Time.
Added tests that check it now.
* remove redundant conversion
* Update distribution/lib/Standard/Base/0.0.0-dev/src/Data/Time.enso

Use Proxy_Polyglot_Array as a proxy for polyglot arrays, thus unifying
the way the underlying array is accessed in Vector.
Used the opportunity to cleanup builtin lookup, which now actually
respects what is defined in the body of @Builtin_Method annotation.
Also discovered that polyglot null values (in JS, Python and R) were leaking to Enso.
Fixed that by doing explicit translation to `Nothing`.

Execution of `sbt runtime/bench` doesn't seem to be part of the gate. As such it can happen a change into the Enso language syntax, standard libraries, runtime & co. can break the benchmarks suite without being noticed. Integrating such PR causes unnecessary disruptions to others using the benchmarks.
Let's make sure verification of the benchmarks (e.g. that they compile and can execute without error) is part of the CI.
# Important Notes
Currently the gate shall fail. The fix is being prepared in parallel PR - #3639. When the two PRs are combined, the gate shall succeed again.
PR allows to attach metod pointers as a visualization expressions. This way it allows to attach a runtime instrument that enables caching of intermediate expressions.
# Important Notes
ℹ️ API is backward compatible.
To attach the visualization with caching support, the same `executionContext/attachVisualisation` method is used, but `VisualisationConfig` message should contain the message pointer.
While `VisualisationConfiguration` message has changed, the language server accepts both new and old formats to keep visualisations working in IDE.
#### Old format
```json
{
"executionContextId": "UUID",
"visualisationModule": "local.Unnamed.Main",
"expression": "x -> x.to_text"
}
```
#### New format
```json
{
"executionContextId": "UUID",
"expression": {
"module": "local.Unnamed.Main",
"definedOnType": "local.Unnamed.Main",
"name": "encode"
}
}
```
Importing individual methods didn't work as advertised because parser
would allow them but later drop that information. This slipped by because we never had mixed atoms and methods in stdlib.
# Important Notes
Added some basic tests but we need to ensure that the new parser allows for this.
@jdunkerley will be adding some changes to stdlib that will be testing this functionality as well.
This change allows for importing modules using a qualified name and deals with any conflicts on the way.
Given a module C defined at `A/B/C.enso` with
```
type C
type C a
```
it is now possible to import it as
```
import project.A
...
val x = A.B.C 10
```
Given a module located at `A/B/C/D.enso`, we will generate
intermediate, synthetic, modules that only import and export the successor module along the path.
For example, the contents of a synthetic module B will look like
```
import <namespace>.<pkg-name>.A.B.C
export <namespace>.<pkg-name>.A.B.C
```
If module B is defined already by the developer, the compiler will _inject_ the above statements to the IR.
Also removed the last elements of some lowercase name resolution that managed to survive recent
changes (`Meta.Enso_Project` would now be ambiguous with `enso_project` method).
Finally, added a pass that detects shadowing of the synthetic module by the type defined along the path.
We print a warning in such a situation.
Related to https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/2539304
# Important Notes
There was an additional request to fix the annoying problem with `from` imports that would always bring
the module into the scope. The changes in stdlib demonstrate how it is now possible to avoid the workaround of
```
from X.Y.Z as Z_Module import A, B
```
(i.e. `as Z_Module` part is almost always unnecessary).
This change modifies the current language by requiring explicit `self` parameter declaration
for methods. Methods without `self` parameter in the first position should be treated as statics
although that is not yet part of this PR. We add an implicit self to all methods
This obviously required updating the whole stdlib and its components, tests etc but the change
is pretty straightforward in the diff.
Notice that this change **does not** change method dispatch, which was removed in the last changes.
This was done on purpose to simplify the implementation for now. We will likely still remove all
those implicit selfs to bring true statics.
Minor caveat - since `main` doesn't actually need self, already removed that which simplified
a lot of code.
Significantly improves the polyglot Date support (as introduced by #3374). It enhances the `Date_Spec` to run it in four flavors:
- with Enso Date (as of now)
- with JavaScript Date
- with JavaScript Date wrapped in (JavaScript) array
- with Java LocalDate allocated directly
The code is then improved by necessary modifications to make the `Date_Spec` pass.
# Important Notes
James has requested in [#181755990](https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/2539304/stories/181755990) - e.g. _Review and improve InMemory Table support for Dates, Times, DateTimes, BigIntegers_ the following program to work:
```
foreign js dateArr = """
return [1, new Date(), 7]
main =
IO.println <| (dateArr.at 1).week_of_year
```
the program works with here in provided changes and prints `27` as of today.
@jdunkerley has provided tests for proper behavior of date in `Table` and `Column`. Those tests are working as of [f16d07e](f16d07e640). One just needs to accept `List<Value>` and then query `Value` for `isDate()` when needed.
Last round of changes is related to **exception handling**. 8b686b12bd makes sure `makePolyglotError` accepts only polyglot values. Then it wraps plain Java exceptions into `WrapPlainException` with `has_type` method - 60da5e70ed - the remaining changes in the PR are only trying to get all tests working in the new setup.
The support for `Time` isn't part of this PR yet.

running such program then leads to (probably expectable) stack overflow exception:
```
Execution finished with an error: Resource exhausted: Stack overflow
at <enso> Any.to_text(Internal)
...
at <enso> Any.to_text(Internal)
at <enso> Any.to_text(Internal)
at <enso> Any.to_text(Internal)
at <enso> IO.println(Internal)
at <enso> g.main(g.enso:15:5-24)
```
However the bigger problem is that it also crashes our debugger. While producing guest Stack overflow when the guest program is running maybe OK, crashing the engine doesn't seem tolerable.
Try:
```
enso-engine-0.0.0-dev-linux-amd64/enso-0.0.0-dev/bin/enso --inspect --run ones.enso
```
and navigate Chrome dev tools to the line 11 as shown on the attached picture.
Stepping over that line generates following error:
```

Stack overflow in the engine when computing `Atom.toString()` - I want to prevent that.
# Important Notes
I am able to see a stacktrace in the debugger and I can _step in_ and _step over_, @kustosz:
However there are extra items like `case_branch` which I'd like to avoid, would you know how to do that?
More and more often I need a way to only recover a specific type of a dataflow error (in a similar manner as with panics). So the API for `Error.catch` has been amended to more closely resemble `Panic.catch`, allowing to handle only specific types of dataflow errors, passing others through unchanged. The default is `Any`, meaning all errors are caught by default, and the behaviour of `x.catch` remains unchanged.
Modified UppercaseNames to now resolve methods without an explicit `here` to point to the current module.
`here` was also often used instead of `self` which was allowed by the compiler.
Therefore UppercaseNames pass is now GlobalNames and does some extra work -
it translated method calls without an explicit target into proper applications.
# Important Notes
There was a long-standing bug in scopes usage when compiling standalone expressions.
This resulted in AliasAnalysis generating incorrect graphs and manifested itself only in unit tests
and when running `eval`, thus being a bit hard to locate.
See `runExpression` for details.
Additionally, method name resolution is now case-sensitive.
Obsolete passes like UndefinedVariables and ModuleThisToHere were removed. All tests have been adapted.
Adds support for appending to an existing Excel table.
# Important Notes
- Renamed `Column_Mapping` to `Column_Name_Mapping`
- Changed new type name to `Map_Column`
- Added last modified time and creation time to `File`.
