# Q&
|
|
||||||
## Q Ampersand
|
|
||||||
### ...or just 'Qwamp'.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## About
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A single-pass byte code interpreter with the ability to pre-compile executables
|
|
||||||
into a format that can be efficiently executed by the runtime.
|
|
||||||
It serves many features, which are listed a bit further down below.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This would have officially been the fourth iteration of my language (sqript4),
|
|
||||||
but I thought I'd stop with the numbers as people would ask what happened to the
|
|
||||||
previous three languages.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Q& (or Qamp for Q Ampersand) was originally made for my contributions to the
|
|
||||||
Advent Of Code 2025, but I thought it's a nice and stable enough concept to be
|
|
||||||
sharing it to the public anyway.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Usage
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To build **Q&**, you need nothing more than a C# compiler that supports .NET10.
|
|
||||||
There are .NET8 compatible versions available, but they are not recommended,
|
|
||||||
as **Q&** utilizes all of the performance optimizations .NET10 has to offer.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After cloning, a simple `dotnet build ./` in the root directory will suffice.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can execute pre-compiled .sqi files using `qamp.runtime.exe <filepath> [parameters]`,
|
|
||||||
or the REPL/CLI using `qamp.cli.exe [parameters]`.
|
|
||||||
If you want to build your own source into pre-compiled instruction files,
|
|
||||||
use `qamp.digest.exe <dirpath>` - the digester will look for an `Init()` function
|
|
||||||
declared in any of the files, and build the instructions from there.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Feature Overview
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Easily extensible with custom Libraries using the C# SDK
|
|
||||||
- Classic OOP Features (Classes & Inheritance)
|
|
||||||
- Chooseable between Dynamic and Static Typing
|
|
||||||
- Premium Syntax and Syntactic Sugars
|
|
||||||
- Syntax-Highlighting REPL Interface
|
|
||||||
- Customizable Dialects (Syntax & Keywords)
|
|
||||||
- Separated Parsing, Compilation and Execution
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Language & Syntax
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You are free to choose between the classic sqript-style dialect `*~ q <~ 0xf;` or
|
|
||||||
the standard dialect, which is strongly inspired by the C# standard: `var q = 0xf;`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All of the following examples are written in the classic dialect `--dialect=sqr` or `-d=q`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Syntax
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Most basic Usage:
|
|
||||||
```cs
|
|
||||||
# this is a comment.
|
|
||||||
*~ q <~ 12; # q == 12
|
|
||||||
*~ f <~ (n) <: n < 2 ? n : f(n-1) + f(n-2); # fibonacci
|
|
||||||
f(12); # 233
|
|
||||||
*~ a <~ [1, 2, 3]; # a = [1, 2, 3]
|
|
||||||
*~ x <~ a:0 + a:2; # x == 4
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Assignments
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Q&** has two distinct ways to assign a value to a variable:
|
|
||||||
- By reference `<&`, or
|
|
||||||
- By value `<=`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Using the auto-assignment operator `<~`, **Q&** will choose the correct assignment based on what
|
|
||||||
type the right-hand expression consists of.
|
|
||||||
Primitive types will be assigned by value, any object values will be assigned by reference.
|
|
||||||
This is strongly inspired by the behaviour that most interpeters implement.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### What happens if...
|
|
||||||
##### I assign an object by value?
|
|
||||||
The entire object will be deep-copied and transfered to the new location.
|
|
||||||
See it as a free clone method on basically anything that is considered an object.
|
|
||||||
##### I assign a primitive by reference?
|
|
||||||
So, assuming that `x` is a primitive (value type), given the instruction `*~ y <& x;`,
|
|
||||||
`y` will be assigned as a reference value _pointing_ to the location of `x` - somewhat like a
|
|
||||||
pointer in C, but a little smarter.
|
|
||||||
##### I do not praise the god emperor of mankind?
|
|
||||||
You will be duly punished.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Variable Declaration
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
*~ q <~ 0xf;
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

## Customization & Extras
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Some more information about extending and customizing Q& to your needs.

|
||||||

|
||||||
### Implementing external Libraries
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Implementation is easy.
|
|
||||||
Q& is written in C#, and supports basically anything you can wrap in C#.
|
|
||||||
All you have to do in order to implement a library is referencing the SDK dll
|
|
||||||
which should be located within your `./Build/` folder after building as described above.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here's a quick example of how you would implement virtually any library:
|
|
||||||
```cs
|
|
||||||
using Qrakhen.Qamp.Core;
|
|
||||||
using System.Math;
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Value Sqrt(Value number)
|
|
||||||
{
|
|
||||||
Assert.IsNumber(number);
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
if (number.IsDecimal)
|
|
||||||
return Math.Sqrt(number.AsDecimal);
|
|
||||||
if (number.IsSigned)
|
|
||||||
return Math.Sqrt(number.AsSigned);
|
|
||||||
if (number.IsUnsigned)
|
|
||||||
return Math.Sqrt(number.Unsigned);
|
|
||||||
throw new Qrakhen.Qamp.Core.QampException($"Unsupported value type {value}");
|
|
||||||
}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Injector injector = new();
|
|
||||||
injector.Register(scope: Scope.Global, name: "sqrt", params: [ ("number", ValueType.Number) ], returns: ValueType.Number);
|
|
||||||
injector.Export("desiredPath.sqi");
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
That's it - although this being a very simple example, more is possible.
|
|
||||||
I will add a few basic implementations of very common libraries in a separate repository soon.
