BQN.jl

An implementation of BQN in Julia.

Development

Add the following to the environment (direnv is useful here):

export JULIA_ROOT="/path/to/julia-1.7.2"
export JULIA_PROJECT="${PWD}"
PATH_add "${JULIA_ROOT}/bin"
PATH_add "${PWD}/bin"

Then:

  • Linux operating system is assumed
  • Clone the repo
  • Run make init to initialize submodules and build the CBQN (BQN implementation used for bootstrap).
  • Run julia and eval using BQN
    • BQN.bqn0 evals the BQN expression using CBQN for compilation
    • BQN.bqn evals the BQN expression using the self hosted compiler
  • There's BQN REPL mode:
    • Start julia and after using BQN do BQN.Repl.init()
    • Enter ) and start typing BQN code
  • make test0 runs the test suite for VM using CBQN hosted compiler
  • make test runs the test suite for VM using self hosted compiler

TODO:

  • Implement fill elements
  • Implement headers
  • Implement namespaces
  • Runtime performance tuning
  • Compilation latency tuning
