CoreScript

A dynamically typed, functional-first, object-oriented, concurrent, general-purpose, embeddable scripting and programming language (for dotnet core 2.0).

CoreScript is written in F# (www.fsharp.org).

Documentation (in progress)

Examples

see Script-Folder

Compilation

As easy as it can be with .net core:
Install dotnet core 2.0 (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/dotnet/core/).

• Download or clone this repository.
• open a terminal and goto Source - folder
• run dotnet build
• verify installation
  • run dotnet test ../Test - will run the NUnit - test -project
  • run dotnet run Script/all-tests.cor - will run the corescript-tests

Build

To create the executable use dotnet publish (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-publish?tabs=netcore2x)

Current Status

!!! NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION !!!

• Parser: Alpha-State
• Interpreter: Alpha-State
• Runtime: in development
• JIT-Compiler: not started (currently syntax-tree-interpreter only)

TODOs

• Bit-Operations via Operators
• file path handling for import
• Runtime
  • Http
    • request-method fot HTTP-clients
  • Strings
    • match-method (regular expressions)
    • format-method (like sprintf)

  • Buffer-Module
  • Console-Module
  • Crypto-Module
  • Date-Module
  • JSON/XML-Serialization-Modules
  • Streams-Module
  • Supervisor-Module (to control agents)
  • ZLib-Module
• Packaging and importing modules via NuGet (or other?)
• JIT-compilation via MSIL

Future

• WebAssembly backend
• .NET-FFI
• C/C++-FFI

Syntax Highlighting

A tmLanguage-Definition is included in this repository for Visual Studio Code.
For now, you can simply copy&paste the corescript-0.1-folder into you VSCode-Extensions folder.

Contribution

I'd be very happy about any contributions to the project, as long as these rules are followed:

• for now, F# only
• no further dependencies
• target dotnet core 2.0
• KISS
• add test
