编译成JavaScript的新语言: Earl Grey

jopen 9年前

Earl Grey (website)是一种新的语言能够编译成JavaScript (ES6)。以下是它的一些惊人的特性:

  • 类似Python的语法
  • 完全兼容node.js生态系统
  • 生成器和async/await (no callback hell!)
  • 功能强大,深度集成模式匹配
    • 用于分配,函数声明,循环,异常...
  • A DOM-building DSL with customizable behavior
  • A very powerful hygienic macro system!
    • Define your own control structures or DSLs
    • Macros integrate seamlessly with the language
    • Macro libraries! Test with earl-mocha, build with earl-gulp, make dynamic pages with earl-react, etc.
  • And much more!

Examples

Counting all words in a block of test. Note thatcount-wordsis a variable name, not a subtraction (it is equivalent to the namecountWords, if that's the notation you prefer).

count-words(text) =     counts = new Map()     words = text.split(R"\W+")     words each word ->        current-count = counts.get(word) or 0        counts.set(word, current-count + 1)     consume(counts.entries()).sort(compare) where        compare({w1, c1}, {w2, c2}) = c2 - c1

{x, y, ...}is the notation for arrays in Earl Grey. Objects are denoted{field = value, field2 = value2, ...}

Generators: the following defines a generator for the Fibonacci sequence and then prints all the even Fibonacci numbers less than 100. It shows off a little bit of everything:

gen fib() =     var {a, b} = {0, 1}     while true:        yield a        {a, b} = {b, a + b}    fib() each     > 100 ->        break     n when n mod 2 == 0 ->        print n

Theeachoperator accepts multiple clauses, which makes it especially easy to work on heterogenous arrays.
