Carp

Currently Carp is in early public releases, it may not be the most stable language for large projects, please report any issues through the GitHub issues page.

What's new in version 1.0.6? ...

This version was based on making the language more debuggable and fixing some small issues.

Fixed issue with the *= compound operator not being recognized in some circumstances by the parser

Added stacktraces to errors, making it easier to debug, it now shows the line number, line content, source (e.g interpreter or file name) for each level of the stack to the error:

UnusedBranch: Unused expression branch, side-effects are not allowed on PropertyExpressionContext
     --->  path-to-thing\thing.carp  5 |  x.do
     --->  path-to-thing\thing.carp  8 |  fail(1)

Math package no longer rounds power and square root functions to full integers
Deleted more todo items from the codebase
Stacktrace now shows an out of bounds message if the current stackframe is not able to be found
Partially fixed func casting
Added marshal.id method that provides a unique identifier for a given object

Features

Implicit, but not stupid type coercion
Open source (obviously)
Import directly from GitHub
Lots of short-hands
Large collection of built-in types
Statically typed and structured errors
Can be written as scripts, projects, packages or real-time with the REPL

Installation

Ensure dotnet is installed
Run the following to install it from NuGet
```
$ dotnet tool install --global Carp
```
Check carp is installed
```
$ carp --version
```
It is recommended to use Visual Studio Code with the Carp Language extension to aide with development

Hello world

Create a new file, give it the .carp extension, and write the following code:

import std.io

IO.println('Hello, world!')

Now run the file with the Carp interpreter:

$ carp hello.carp

You should see the output Hello, world! printed to the console. Alternatively you can go file-less and use the REPL:

carp
 : import std.io
 :
 : IO.println('Hello, world!')

Contributing

As the language is still very early, contributions would be very much appricated. Some ideas include; more standard libraries, bugfixes or new features.
