Full Changelog: v0.4.5-testing...v0.4.5-testing-2

v0.4.5-testing (Last version of 2024)

What's new

• Iterators and foreach loops are added. In objects, iterators can be run manually with the __next__() method and the __next__ method can be overridden for custom behavior. By the foreach loop, iterable objects (objects with __iter__ method) and lists can be conveniently iterated. The syntax is

for x in iterable {
  ...
}

• Add overriding support for stringification with __dump__ and __str__ methods
• Add support for throwing and catching errors with throw and try..catch..finally statements. Syntax:

try {
  ...
  throw "error";
  ...
} catch e {
  ... # do something with e
} finally {
  ... # cleanup, will run no matter what
}

• Like 0.4.4-beta, 0.4.5-testing will have no more new features until 0.4.5-stable (simply just 0.4.5) releases. This is for testing and finding/fixing bugs

v0.4.4

What's Changed

• feat: add Docker support and development environment by @l-lumin in #5
• Added objects and classes (no inheritance yet, but operator overloading is present)
  Syntax:

# Create a class
class MyClass {
    fun __init__(a, b) {
        this.a = a;
        this.b = b;
    }

    fun do_something() {
        return this.a + this.b;
    }
}


# Create an instance of the class
my_instance = new MyClass(1, 2);
print(my_instance);                 # == <object of <class 'MyClass'>>
print(my_instance.a);               # == 1
print(my_instance.b);               # == 2
print(my_instance.do_something());  # == 3

• Biiiiiiiiig refactor and restructuring
• Bugs in v0.4.4-beta are now fixed (at least ones that I found)
