Mesa

Current Release

0.3.6-SNAPSHOT

About

This repository is for implementing a programming language based on the enriched effect calculus by Egger, Ejlers and Simpson (2014).

Changes

Features

  • Read Eval Print Loop

    • Define Mesa terms and type-check them.
    • Print the meta AST for Mesa terms and source files.
    • Print the derived types of Mesa terms and source files.
    • Print the current environment of terms and types.
  • Linear types that enforce the linear usage of effects.

    • Proof of isomorphisms in Proposition 4.1. of Egger, Ejlers and Simpson (2014) can be found in mesa/Isomorphisms.hs.
  • Haskell-like syntax

    • Source files use .hs suffix at present to benefit from syntax highlighting.
    • Refer to mesa/src/main/antlr4/Mesa.g4 for a context free grammar.

Author

  • James Thompson, BSc. University of Bath.

Usage

  • Load sbt with sbt
  • To run tests, in the sbt CLI use test.
  • To launch the EEC REPL, in the sbt CLI use run -e.

REPL

  • :help to get a list of commands available.
  • :tf to type check a file in the current directory, e.g. mesa/Isomorphisms.hs; adding any definitions to the environment.
  • :ctx to print the current environment after defining terms.
  • :reset to clear all definitions in the environment.
  • :def to define a new top level definition.
  • :t to type an expression.
  • :ast to print the AST of an expression.
  • :astt to print the AST of a top level definition.
  • :astf to print the AST of a source file in the current directory.
  • :cd to change the working directory
  • :pwd to print the working directory
  • :q to quit the REPL.
