What's this project I'm planning for December I've been discussing this morning?
It'd be a simple & expressive visual functional programming language. You start with a single metatype in which to write to write type signatures. Once you've defined a function's type you can leave it empty to become a type constructor, or you can fill-in auto-generated pattern-matching "() ⇒ () []" blocks with the same or other functions.
Thus expressing the entirety of computation!
1/2?
As decided this morning I'll have special
* "🙂" which takes a function returning the appropriate type & has the user fill in any missing arguments.
* "🎲" would generate random values
* "🌐" would interface to TCP or TLS (using a funny type signature)
* "🕰️" would return the UNIX timestamp.
Furthermore you'd be able to drop files into it the program for the runtime to help you select a module to parse its list of bytes. And you'll be able to save lists of bytes.
So you can process files!
2/3!
@alcinnz I've only taken a cursory glance, but a similar use of special glyphs came up in
which was just mentioned by @vanderZwan.
