|
|||
Keywords must begin with an ASCII upper- or lower-case letter, and can then include any letter character, as well as `_`, `/`, `!`, `?`, and `*`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Strings
|
||||
Ludus strings are UTF-8 strings, and only use double quotes. Strings may be multiline. For example, this is a string: `"foo"`. So is this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"foo
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
bar baz"
|
||||
```
|
||||
Strings use backslashes for escapes, including `\n` for newline, `\t` for tab, `\"` for a double quote, and `\{` for an open curly brace (see below on interpolation).
|
||||
Ludus strings are dependent on the host platform. Given that Ludus either runs in Javascript or the JVM, strings are UTF-16 strings. Eventually, Ludus will use UTF-8 strings. Strings are much more complicated than you think. Strings are emphatically not a collection type.
|
||||
|
||||
Strings' type is `:string`.
|
||||
|
||||
### String interpolation
|
||||
Strings may also insert a string representation of any Ludus value that is bound to a name, by inserting that name in curly braces, e.g.
|
||||
```
|
||||
let foo = :foo
|
||||
let bar = 42
|
||||
let baz = [1, 2, 3]
|
||||
"{foo} {bar} {baz}" &=> ":foo 42 1, 2, 3"
|
||||
```
|
||||
Interpolations may _not_ be arbitrary expressions: only bound names may be used in interpolations.
|
||||
|
||||

Tuples are fully-immutable, ordered collections of any kinds of values, delimited by parentheses, e.g. `(1, :a, "foo")`. At current, they have no length limit (although they eventually will). Unlike in some languages, tuples can be empty or contain a single element: `()` and `(:foo)` are both just fine. Tuples largely cannot be manipulated functionally; they must be written as literals and unpacked using pattern matching. They can, however, be converted to lists, either through pattern matching or the `list` function. Their type is `:tuple`.

### Dictionaries, or dicts
|
||||
Dicts are persistent and immutable associative collections of any kinds of values. Dicts use keywords as keys (and cannot use any other kind of Ludus value as a key, not even strings), but can store any values. Dict literals are written as keyword-value pairs: `#{:a 1, :b false}`. Single words may be used as a shorthand for a key-value pair. Accessing a key that holds no value returns `nil`. Their type is `:dict`.

### Packages

Packages are immutable collections of bindings. They may only be described at the top level of a script, and their names must begin with a capital letter.

### Working with collections
|
||||
Ludus names are bound permanently and immutably. How do you add something to a list or a dict? How do you get things out of them?
|
||||
|
||||
Ludus provides functions that allow working with persistent collections. They're detailed in [the Prelude](/prelude.md). That said, all functions that modify collections take a collection and produce the modified collection _as a return value_, without changing the original collection. E.g., `append ([1, 2, 3], 4)` will produce `[1, 2, 3, 4]`, but the original list is unchanged. (For dicts, the equivalent is `assoc`.)

|

## Expressions
|
||||
Ludus is an expression-based language: all forms in the language are expressions and return values, except `panic!`. That said, not all expressions may be used everywhere.
|
||||
|
||||
### Toplevel expressions
|
||||
Some expressions may only be used in the "top level" of a script. Because they are the toplevel, they are assured to be statically knowable. These include: `pkg`, `ns`, `use`, `import`, and `test`. (NB: not all of these are yet implemented.)

|
||||
|
||||
### Non-binding expressions
|
||||
Some forms may take any expression that does _not_ [bind a name](#Words-and-bindings), for example, any entry in a collection, or the right-hand side of a `let` binding. This is because binding a name in some positions is ambiguous, or nonsensical, or leads to unwarranted complications.
|
||||
|
||||
### Simple expressions
|
||||
Many compound forms will only accept "simple" expressions. Formally, simple expressions are either literal (atomic, string, or collection literals) or synthetic expressions. They are expressions which do not take sub-expressions: no `if`, `when`, `match`, etc. (`do` expressions are currently not simple, but that may be revised.)

|
||||
|
||||
## Words and bindings
|
||||
Ludus uses _words_ to bind values to names. Words must start with a lower case ASCII letter, and can subsequently include any letter character (modulo backing character encoding), as well as , `_`, `/`, `?`, `!`, and `*`.
|
||||
|
||||
Ludus binds values to names immutably and permanently: no name in the same scope may ever be re-bound to a different value. (Although see [refs](#references-and-state), below.
|
||||
|
||||
Attempting to use an unbound name (a word that has not had a value bound to it) will result in a validation error, and the script will not run.

||||
If you wish to be a bit more explict than using a placeholder, you can use an ignored name, which is a name that starts with an underscore: `_foo`.

#### Typed patterns
|
||||
Word patterns can, optionally, take a type, using the `as` reserved word, and the keyword representing the desired type: `let foo as :number = 42`.
|
||||
|
||||
### String patterns
|
||||
Ludus has a simple but powerful form of string pattern matching that mirrors string interpolation. Any word inside curly braces in a string will match against a substring of a string passed into a pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
let i_am = "I am the walrus"
|
||||
|
||||
let "I {verb} the {noun}" = i_am
|
||||
(verb, noun) &=> ("am", "walrus")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that such names may well be bound to empty strings: a match does not guarantee that there will be anything in the string. This is particularly relevant at the beginning and end of string patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
let we_are = "We are the eggmen"
|
||||
let "{first}We {what}" = we_are
|
||||
(first, what) &=> ("", "are the eggmen")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Collection patterns
|
||||
Tuples, lists, and dicts can be destructured using patterns. They are written nearly identically to their literal counterparts. Collection patterns are composed of any number of simpler patterns or other collection patterns. They bind any names nested in them, match literals in them, etc.

||||

|
|||
#### List patterns
|
||||
List patterns are identical to tuple patterns, but they are written using square braces. They also match against a specific number of members, and may take a splat in the last position, e.g. `let [first, ...rest] = [1, 2, 3]`.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that list patterns, like tuple patterns, match on explicit length. That means that if you are matching only the first items of a list, you must explicitly include a splat pattern, e.g. `let [first, second, ...] = [1, 2, 3, 4]`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Dict patterns
|
||||
Dict patterns are written either with shorthand words, or keyword-pattern pairs. Consider: `let #{:a foo, :b 12, c} = #{:a 1, :b 12, :c 4}`. `foo` is now 1; `b` is now 12, `c` is now 4. If a dict does not hold a value at a particular key, there is no match.
|
||||
|
||||
Dict patterns may also use a splat as their last member: `let #{:a 1, ...b} = #{:a 1, :b 2, :c 3}` will bind `b` to `#{:b 2, :c 3}`.
|
||||
|
||||
Like tuple and list patterns, dict patterns without a splat at the end match only on exact equivalence on all keys.
|
||||
|
||||
## `let` bindings
|
||||
`let` bindings are the basic form of matching and binding in Ludus. It is written `let {pattern} = {non-binding expression}`. The pattern can be arbitrarily complex. If the left-hand side of a `let` binding does not match, Ludus will raise a panic, halting evaluation of the script.

|
||||
|
||||
### `if`
|
||||
`if` evaluates a condition; if the result of the condition is truthy, it evaluates is `then` branch; if the condition is falsy, it evaluates its `else` branch. Both branches must always be present. Newlines may come before `then` and `else`.
|
||||
|
||||
`if {simple expression} then {non-binding expression} else {non-binding expression}`
|
||||
|
||||
#### `if let`
|
||||
There is one exception to the above: a single `let` form can be used as the condition. In that case, if the `let` binding is successful--the pattern matches--the `then` branch is evaluated with any resulting bindings. If the pattern does not match, in place of a panic, the `else` branch is evaluated. Note that if the right-hand value of the `let` expression is falsy, the `else` branch will also be evaluated.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
if let (:ok, value) = might_fail ()
|
||||
then do_something_with (value)
|
||||
else recover
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `when`
|
||||
`when` is like Lisp's `cond`: it takes a series of clauses, separated by semicolons or newlines, delimited by curly braces. Clauses are written `lhs -> rhs`. `when` expressions are extremely useful for avoiding nested `if`s.
|
||||
|
||||
The left hand of a clause is a simple expression; the right hand of a clause is any expression. When the left hand is truthy, the right hand is evaluated, and the result of that evaluation is returned; no further clauses are evaluated. If no clause has a truthy left-hand value, then a panic is raised. In the example below, not the use of literal `true` as an always-matching clause.

When the left hand is truthy, the right hand is evaluated, and the result of that evaluation is returned; no further clauses are evaluated.

||||

||||
### `match`
|
||||

### Closures
|
||||
Functions in Ludus are closures: function bodies have access not only to their specific scope, but any enclosing scope. Note that function bodies may have access to names bound after them in their scope, so long as the function is _called_ after any names it accesses are bound.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mutual recursion and forward declaration
|
||||
If you try the following, you'll get a validation error:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
fn stupid_odd? {
|
||||
(0) -> false
|
||||
(x) -> supid_even? (dec (x)) & Validation error: unbound name

|
||||
(x) -> stupid_odd? (dec (x))

||||

||||
To allow for mutual recursion, Ludus allows forward declarations, which are written `fn name` without any clauses. In the example above, we would simply put `fn stupid_even?` before we define `stupid_odd?`. If you declare a function without defining it, however, Ludus will raise a validation error.

### The Prelude

The Prelude is a substantial set of functions that is available in any given Ludus script. (It is, itself, just a Ludus file that has special access to host functions.) Because of that, a large number of functions are always available. The prelude documentation is [here](/prelude.md).

For example:

This, right now, is quite basic: circular imports are currently allowed but will lead to endless recursion; results are not cached, so each `import` in a chain re-evaluates the file; and so on.

### `use`
|

`use` loads the contents of a namespace into a script's context. To ensure that this is statically checkable, this must be at the toplevel.

### `pkg`
|
||||
Packages, `pkg`es, may only be described at the toplevel of a script. This is to ensure they can be statically evaluatable.

Namespaces, `ns`es, may only be described at the toplevel of a script. This is to ensure they can be statically evaluatable.
|
||||
|
||||
### `test`
|
||||
A `test` expression is a way of ensuring things behave the way you want them to. Run the script in test mode, and these are evaluated. If the expression under `test` returns a truthy value, you're all good! If the expression under `test` returns a falsy value or raises a panic, then Ludus will report which test(s) failed.

## Changing things: `ref`s
|
||||
Ludus does not let you re-bind names. It does, however, have a type that allows for changing values over time: `ref` (short for reference--they are references to values). `ref`s are straightforward, but do require a bit more overhead than `let` bindings. The idea is that Ludus makes it obvious where mutable state is in a program, as well as where that mutable state may change. It does so elegantly, but with some guardrails that may take a little getting used to.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changing things: `box`es
|
||||
Ludus does not let you re-bind names. It does, however, have a type that allows for changing values over time: `box`. A box is a place to put things, it has its own identity, it can store whatever you put in it.
|
||||
|
||||
Syntactically and semantically, `box`es are straightforward, but do require a bit more overhead than `let` bindings. The idea is that Ludus makes it obvious where mutable state is in a program, as well as where that mutable state may change. It does so elegantly, but with some guardrails that may take a little getting used to.
|
||||
|
||||
The type of a `box` is, predictably, `:box`.
|
||||
The type of a `ref` is, predictably, `:ref`.
|
||||

```
|
||||
box foo = 42 & foo is now bound to a _box that contains 42_
|
||||
ref foo = 42 & foo is now bound to a _ref that contains 42_
|
||||
add (1, foo) & panic! no match: foo is _not_ a number
|
||||
store! (foo, 23) & foo is now a box containing 23
|
||||
make! (foo, 23) & foo is now a ref containing 23
|
||||
update! (foo, inc) & foo is now a ref containing 24
|
||||
unbox (foo) &=> 23; use unbox to get the value contained in a box
|
||||
value_of (foo) &=> 23; use value_of to get the value contained in a ref
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Ending with a bang!
|
||||
Ludus has a strong naming convention that functions that change state or could cause an explicit panic end in an exclamation point (or, in computer nerd parlance, a "bang"). So anything function that mutates the value held in a reference ends with a bang: `store!` and `update!` take bangs; `unbox` does not.

|

This convention also includes anything that prints to the console: `print!`, `report!`, `doc!`, `update!`, `store!`, etc.
|
||||
|

(Note that there are a few counter-examples to this: math functions that could cause a panic [in place of returning NaN] do not end with bangs: `div`, `inv`, and `mod`; each of these has variants that allow for more graceful error handling).

### Ending with a whimper?
|
||||
Relatedly, just about any function that returns a boolean value is a predicate function--and has a name that ends with a question mark: `eq?` tests for equality; `box?` tells you if something is a ref or not; `lte?` is less-than-or-equal.

## Errors: panic! in the Ludus script
|
||||
A special form, `panic!`, halts script execution with the expression that follows as an error message.

* a function is called with arguments that do not match any of its clauses

* something that is not a function or keyword is called as a function
|

* a called keyword is partially applied
|

* `div`, `inv`, or `mod` divides by zero

### `nil`s, not errors
|
||||
Ludus, however, tries to return `nil` instead of panicking a lot of the time. So, for example, attempting to get access a value at a keyword off a number, while nonsensical, will return `nil` rather than panicking:

### Result tuples
|
||||
Operations that could fail--especially when you want some information about why--don't always return `nil` on failures. Instead of exceptions or special error values, recoverable errors in Ludus are handled instead by result tuples: `(:ok, value)` and `(:err, msg)`. So, for example, `unwrap!` takes a result tuple and either returns the value in the `:ok` case, or panics in the `:err` case.

Variants of some functions that may have undesirably inexplicit behaviour are written as `{name}/safe`. So, for example, you can get a variant of `div` that returns a result tuple in `div/safe`, which returns `(:ok, result)` when everything's good; and `(:err, "division by zero")` when the divisor is 0.
