I think this should be proposed as an RFC. I'll set up the rfc rn
So, I have made the first issue in the rfc - Let's discuss the changes to be done in simple more on the RFC. Here, simple-lang/rfcs#1
So i was thinking adding more functionalities to the simple extension for vscode
Like maybe identification - like it's a function, callback etc
We'll see.
Hello everyone simple-lang now support variadic function that can take unlimited amount of parameters which will result in the variadic keyword be a list that hold the parameters e.g the current keyword used is
params having a parameter params means unlimited argument e.gtestBlock(1)
testBlock("a string")
tesBlock([1,2],"desperado","inverse",45,87,97,new Directory("../"), [9,3,3])
block testBlock(params)
@leghtOf(params)
a more simple example
testBlock("Hello", "World", 40)
block testBlock(params)
@params[0] #Hello
@params[1] #World
@params[2] #40
the keyword will be a secondary keyword i.e it can still be used in the code as variable name class name like any other varible unlike primary keywords like block, class
using ellipsis
... will take more scanning time as it will be added to keyword.
I ll try using the
... and give you guyz feedback
Hello guyz. Implementing the ... i hit a wall the ... is only usable in language that has type specifier e.g String str = "" but in simple lang it str = "" so the ... is not possible e.g in a block we have
block test(p1,p2,p3)Using ... as variadic parameter
test(1,2,4,5)
block test(p1,p2,...)
@...[0] #a big lang breaking erroror we go with C Style that will just bring a foreign identifier to fix that
test(1,2,4,5)
block test(p1,p2,...)
@var_args[0]Using the ... is only acceptable for strongly types language e.g java
public void functionOne(String... strings)
System.out.println(strings[0])
buh in simple-lang we support type hinting but the
... is still not possible e.g this is valid in simple-langblock test(String params)
@params
I don't think ... is meant to be used as an identifier. It's more like a modifier.
So instead of the one you have above, its should actually be like this.
test(1, 2, 3, 4)
block test(p1, p2, p3...)
return p3[0]When types come, then it will look sth like this
test(1, 2, "Hello")
block test(Number p1, Number p2, String p3...)
return p3[0]
i ll implement that
Great to have you on the simple-lang team once again @appcypher
I ll send a PR to the main REPO for review
By merging this PR you will be able to install modules directly from github repo similar to
go get ... e.g $ modular install Youngestdev/NgBanks
That's cool and will be useful in modules like List, Map etc
I fixed the Map module to work effectively and use the
__OBJECT style.
