This update includes an update to `decodeResult` that makes string
decoding far less aggressive. This also replaces the `!decode` REPL
command with `!output` to allow users to switch output format on the
fly. New tests are included for verifying decoding behavior; this group
needs to be fleshed out further.
Adds support for REPL namespacing, primarily to avoid `main` collisions.
Also adds a library function for an ergonomic pattern matching function
that I've been noodling on. I might explore ways to make list syntax
less annoying specifically for pattern matching like this.
Don't require/allow naming a module, instead require that the importer
names it. Allow importing into the local scope with the name !Local.
Simplify namespacing logic. Updates all tests to reflect these changes.
To encourage organizing code in a way that helps in understanding, I
have implemented the common idiom of requiring a `main` function. In
tricu and other functional languages, it is usually placed near the top
of the module. The evaluator gracefully handles the situation of passing
multiple files where the intermediary "library" files do not have main functions.
tricu now allows defining terms in any order and will resolve
dependencies to ensure that they're evaluated in the right order.
Undefined terms are detected and throw errors during dependency
ordering.
For now we can't define top-level mutually recursive terms.
Adds support for several special characters in identifiers. Adds a demo
for converting values to source code and another for checking equality.
Updates the existing demo and tests to reflect new names for functions
returning booleans.
