K

Note

A fork of the venerable ksimple.

After studying the original code obsessively, I figured it was about time to try and change some stuff myself; this repo is the result of that. Eternally WIP.

TODOs

What follows are the suggested exercises of ksimple, and how far along I am.

i'm too young to die:

• inspect verb implementations provided by atw for edge cases, and add checks (which are intentionally omitted)
• implement a few more simple verbs, e.g. dyadic divide f%x. [Added f%x and &X; more to probably come]

hurt me plenty:

• [~] extend maximum vector length to MAX_UINT
• [1/3] find and fix at least three segfaults

ultraviolence:

• [~] change base type from 8bit integer to long
• fix tokenizer to support integer numerals greater than 9 and less than 0
• fix tokenizer to support efficient direct vector input (e.g. 42 57 120 instead of 1,2,3,4)

nightmare:

• implement a simple parser (e.g. to support quoted strings and parens)
• implement nested vectors, and monadic verb flip aka transpose
• make vector arithmetic penetrating
• implement copy-on-write
• implement floating point type
• implement functions and local scope
• [~] implement a test suite for your k
