The type inference for collections (tuples, vectors, matrices, and
records) has been significantly refactored.
This includes:
- Introducing distinct `StaticType` variants for `Tuple`, `Vector`, and
`Matrix`.
- Implementing more robust type checking for these collections, allowing
for homogeneous and heterogeneous structures.
- Enhancing the `is_assignable_from` method to handle type compatibility
between these collection types.
- Updating `Value::static_type()` to correctly infer the types of
literal collections.
- Improving the type inference for map literals to create `Record`
types.
- Adding comprehensive unit tests for tuple, vector, matrix, and record
type inference.
This commit updates benchmark values in several example files to reflect
minor performance variations. It also includes adjustments to
integration
and unit tests to align with recent changes in the type checking and VM
logic, specifically concerning closures and TCO handling.
This commit introduces support for AST macros and templates, enabling
users to define and use custom, reusable components within the visual
DSL.
Key changes include:
- A new `MacroRegistry` to manage macro definitions.
- A `MacroExpander` to process macro calls and expand templates.
- A `MacroEvaluator` trait for evaluating expressions during expansion.
- The `Expansion` node in `BoundKind` to preserve the original macro
call and its expanded form for debugging.
- Updates to the `Binder`, `Dumper`, and `UpvalueAnalyzer` to handle the
new macro constructs.
- New examples demonstrating various macro functionalities like
`unless`, splicing, and nested macros.
