Version 0.1.2 Release

This is a rollup release of versions 0.1.1 and 0.1.2.

Version 0.1.1 - September 4th, 2023

Expand language standard library.

Added some additional functions to the Hachi language itself. (See Functions documentation for more details).

Add Hachi Core Library

Added a core Hachi Library with simple modules. Some of the latest are:

• so - String Operations
• calc - Simple Math Stuff.
• sys - System
• net - Networking

Implement String Arrays

Prior to version 0.1.1, only Integer Arrays were possible. But now you can set a String Array similar to how you’d do with an Integer array.

Sample

StringArray: <Size>
StringArray.set: <index>, <string>
StringArray.get: <index>

Version 0.1.2 - October 6th, 2023

Project Initialization

Added a hachi command to initialize the current directory as a hachi project.

Dynamic Imports

Hachi now checks for the existence of imported modules in the HACHI_LIB path, and if it doesn’t exist then the import path becomes a relative file path.

Hachi Utils

Started to add utilities to supplement Hachi use.

The first utility is the “bowl.8” utility located in the $YOUR_HACHI_FILE-PATH/hUtils directory, which handles the complexity of compiling C++ bindings which require links to dynamic C/C++ libraries.

Sample

# Sample "hachi bowl.8" command.
hachi bowl.8 <your hachi file> <compiled program name>

Lambda & Anonymous Functions

Added support for Lambda & Anonymous Functions.

Lambda Function Sample Here we are passing a lambda function as an input parameter to function testFunc.

testFunc:: {Int}: (
    print: Ri
)

testFunc: ({}->{Int}:(4-2))

This would print 2.

Anonymous Function Sample Here we are passing an anonymous function as an input parameter to function testFunc.

testFunc:: {Int}: (
    print: Ri
)

testFunc: ({}->{Int}:(4-2))*6

This would print 12.
