@СашаСаша Welcome to the Vyxal chat room! Type !!/help for my list of commands, and !!/info for info about Vyxal!

you know what, maybe interpreting vyxal might be easy. It's just swapping out the strings in the element dictionary with lambdas right?

Like we already have a dictionary of commands as strings, so why not s/string/lambda

...

Loops

Functions

& similar

but those could be specially handled somehow

i haven't actually experimented with the idea yet, this is just a shower thought

Because that totally isn't something I'm considering

oh no

Obviously I'd experiment with it as a language design feature and see if it actually works

@ParsonsLeeA Welcome to the Vyxal chat room! Type !!/help for my list of commands, and !!/info for info about Vyxal!

@lyxal Yes!

Of course, we'd have to handle variables by having a dictionary containing variable names and their corresponding values for each scope, but I think it would be manageable

It would also make writing a debugger for Vyxal in the future easier

Do we want to create a new branch from fb soon to start experimenting with an interpreter, or wait until all of that is done?

@user I'm thinking waiting

👍

I don't exactly know how structures would be interpreted

Any ideas?

could just treat the body like a function

You mean like if statements and while loops? The structure classes could each have their own methods to interpret them, shouldn't bee terribly complicated

^

I think the hardest part might be dealing with scopes of variables. Currently, Python does that for us, but deciding if we want to create a new dictionary everytime we move into a loop or reuse the same one but remove variables is gonna be hard

Or we could just make all variables globally scoped, which would be disgusting but perhaps golfier, and certainly easier to implement

@user ... That's what we had in 2.4

That's the whole reason we're having a rewrite

Because we're getting rid of global variables

@user well we already pass a context variable between functions, so maybe that could be used?

@user those and also function definitions and lambdas

@lyxal Yeah

I had started on a debugger for Vyxal a while back in the debugger branch, but I couldn't really finish it. Perhaps some of that code can still be salvaged

nvm it's been deleted
