---------------------------------------------
General:
- add chat bot for #mal
- move tokenizer.mal and reader.mal from malc along with
./examples/{equality,memoize,pprint,protocols}.mal and
./core.mal to ./lib directory
- Finish guide.md
All Implementations:
- test that *ARGV* gets set properly
- test to make sure slurp captures final newline
- regular expression matching in runtest
- add re (use in rep) everywhere and use that (to avoid printing)
- per impl tests for step5_tco, or at least a better way of
enabling/disabling/tweaking per implementation
- fix stepA soft failures: lua matlab miniMAL perl racket
Other ideas for All:
- propagate/print errors when self-hosted
- redefine (defmacro!) as (def! (macro*))
- Fix/implement interop in more implementations
- metadata on symbols (as per Clojure)
- metadata as a map only. ^ merges metadata in the reader itself.
Line numbers in metadata from reader.
- protocols!
- https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie
- http://www.toccata.io/2015/01/Mapping/
- namespaces
- environments first class: *ENV*, *outer* defined by env-new
- namespaces is *namespaces* map in environment which maps namespace
names to other environments.
- def! become an alias for (env-set! *ENV* 'sym value)
- Namespace lookup: go up the environment hierarchy until
a *namespaces* map is found with the namespace name being
looked up. Then the symbol would be looked up starting in
the namespace environment. Need protocols first probably.
- multi-line REPL read
- loop/recur ?
- gensym reader inside quasiquote
- standalone executable
---------------------------------------------
Bash:
- explore using ${!prefix*} syntax (more like make impl)
- GC
C:
- come up with better way to do 20 vararg code
- GC: use http://www.hboehm.info/gc/
C#:
- accumulates line breaks with mal/clojurewest2014.mal
- interop: http://www.ckode.dk/programming/eval-in-c-yes-its-possible/
Clojure:
- fix "\/" exception in mal/clojurewest2014.mal
CoffeeScript:
- make target to compile to JS
Go:
- consider variable arguments in places where it makes sense
https://gobyexample.com/variadic-functions
Haskell:
- TCO using seq/bang patterns:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9149183/tail-optimization-guarantee-loop-encoding-in-haskell
- immediately exits mal/clojurewest2014.mal ("\/" exception)
Java:
- Use gradle instead of mvn
http://blog.paralleluniverse.co/2014/05/01/modern-java/
- MAL formatting is a bit off with mal/clojurewest2014.mal
Javascript:
- interop: adopt techniques from miniMAL
Make:
- allow '_' in make variable names
- hash-map with space in key string
- Fix: make -f stepA_mal.mk ../mal/step6_file.mal
(slurp "../tests/incA.mal")
(read-string "(+ 2 3)")
- errors should propagate up from within load-file
- GC: expore using "undefined" directive in Make 3.82
Mal:
- line numbers in errors
- step5_tco
MATLAB:
- Port to support both GNU Octave and MATLAB
miniMAL:
- figure out why {} literals are "static"/persistent
ObjPascal:
- verify that GC/reference counting works
- fix comment by itself error at REPL
Perl:
- fix metadata on native functions
- fix extra line breaks at REPL
Postscript:
- add negative numbers
- fix blank line after comments
- fix command line arg processing (doesn't run file specified)
Python:
- interop tests
R:
- tracebacks in errors
- fix running from different directory
Racket
- metadata on collections
Rust:
- fix 'make all' invocation of cargo build
Scala
- readline
- fix exception when finished running something on command line
