Gregory's Server@wryl how does this standard library work? is it literally some rules provided that operate on the same tuple system? how does addition work under this?

@wryl so addition is specified in terms of tuple replacement using something like peano numbers? @dziban It is, indeed, just some rules. "Compilation" is concatenation of rule-sets. The current implementation of Nova allows for an "escape hatch" in the form of patterns that are prefixed with a '%'. For the current implementation, rules are parsed and compiled to a form of byte-code that incorporates a stack. So.. %$variable = 1 2 +. ..results in a tuple that looks like.. $variable = 3 The new implementation will not feature this, as this was done for demonstration purposes. |
@wryl ah, nevermind, just ppened your examples and saw the arithmetic part
