RFCs
This document tracks unimplemented RFCs.
Deprecate extends keyword
Use Python style for extends let Bar = class {} let Baz = class(Bar) //(instead of Baz = class extends Bar
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
Introduce way to call table methods
to avoid ambiguity with table fields {values = @() print(“values”)}.values()
Suggestions:
with ‘prefix’-style, operator .$ ( print({keys = 1}.$keys()) //’keys’, not 1)
‘::’ (if and whe nwe remove :: operator) table::values()
‘->’
‘|>’ (betterr keep for pipe)
some other way, for example with like getMethod({}.values)({})
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
Deprecate clone operator and replace it with .clone method
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
Add is_freezed method to array and table
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
Add for and foreach in ranges
Syntax like:
for (range:integer)
for (start_of_range:integer, end_of_range:integer)
foreach (i in range:integer)
Will allow to make code faster and safer than with for(local i=0; i<range; i++)
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
NaN-tagging
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
Incremental GC
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
Replace let with const
Replace ‘let’ for immutables with ‘const’ keyword
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
Remove :: operator
Use getroottable() or write your own wrapper for shorter syntax
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
Expression folding
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
Insert-ordered tables (like in Python)
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
Automatically assign names to unnamed functions
like let foo = function() {} == let foo = function foo() {}
or {foo = function()} == {foo = function foo()}
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
Spread operator
like https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_syntax
Status: Needs implementation and detailed rfc
AST optimizations
loop unrolling
filter + map folding, dead-code elimation
