The `Object` trait is too generic and has been causing confusion. This
commit introduces `StreamStorage` as a dedicated trait for reactive
stream types.
This change involves:
- Renaming `Object` to `StreamStorage` in relevant places.
- Updating the `Value::Object` enum variant to `Value::Stream`.
- Modifying how streams are handled in the compiler, VM, and tests to
use the new `StreamStorage` trait.
- Adjusting example scripts and tests to reflect the change in type
representation.
- The `StreamNode` struct now explicitly holds its `element_type`.
This commit updates all example files to use `assert_eq!` for verifying
output, replacing the previous `Output:` comments. This change makes the
examples more robust and self-testing.
The benchmark results in some examples have also been slightly adjusted,
reflecting minor performance variations after the refactoring.
Additionally, a runtime panic handling mechanism has been introduced in
the VM for function calls, which improves error reporting for unexpected
panics.
This commit introduces support for comments within the AST nodes.
Comments are now parsed by the lexer and stored within the `Token`
struct.
These comments are then propagated through various compiler phases,
including
the `Node` struct, ensuring they are preserved in the Abstract Syntax
Tree.
This change enhances the AST's ability to retain source code
information,
which can be valuable for debugging and analysis.
The `Parameter` kind in `UntypedKind` was only used for identifiers that
were being declared or referenced. This commit renames it to
`Identifier` and updates all the necessary code to reflect this change.
This simplifies the AST and makes it more consistent.
Additionally, a new macro `repeat` has been added to
`src/ast/system.myc`.
The `PipelineNode` has been refactored into `StreamNode`. This commit
updates the example files to reflect this change and also updates the
`series` constructor to accept a lookback parameter.
The `PipelineNode` was an artifact of a previous implementation and is
no longer needed. The `StreamNode` is the appropriate type for
representing the output of a pipe operation.
The `series` function now requires a `lookback` argument to specify the
maximum number of items to store. This makes the behavior of series more
explicit and prevents accidental unbounded memory growth.
This commit updates the benchmark and repeat counts for various example
files. These changes reflect potential performance improvements or
variations observed during testing.
- Use a `make-random` factory to create isolated random number
generators.
- Remove the global `prng` from the `Environment`.
- Ensure `make-random` can be called with or without a seed.
Implements the `create-ticker` function, which allows for the creation
of a ticker stream based on a provided condition closure. This function
is crucial for synchronizing pipeline execution based on specific events
or conditions.
