Samarium 0.4.0

Added

• Array%
• Enum%
• io module:
  • io.Bytes
  • io.inputcast
  • io.read_until
• iter.cycle by @Lunarmagpie
• New import system, including:
  • import aliases
  • inline imports
• New special method syntax
• Partial Python Interoperability by @Endercheif
• start parameter for math.sum, thus allowing to sum non-Integers
• Static methods (~'* keyword)
• string.ordinal
• string.split() now supports separators of length greater than 1, and also handles empty separators
• Strings of length greater than 1 can now be cast into Arrays of Integers
• Subtracting strings
• Support for ^L, ^[[A, ^[[B, ^[[C, ^[[D in the REPL
• to_bit methods for:
  • Enum
  • File
  • Iterator
  • Module
• Types and functions are now hashable
• Zip >< operator
• Zip type

Changed

• Flipped argument order for:
  • iter.map
  • iter.filter
  • iter.filter_false
• Greatly improved error messages
• Improved collections.Set methods:
  • Replaced union with |
  • Replaced intersection with &
  • Replaced difference with -
  • Removed is_subset in place of ::, :::, >, <, >:, <: operator support
• Improved function to string conversion
• Improved implicit null detection
• Improved readline error handling
• Improved slice object detection
• Improved string integer parsing
• Improved variable type verification
• Rewrote the objects (should be 10–50% faster than Samarium 0.3.1 🚀)
• Replaced the native tokenizer with a crossandra tokenizer (~3x faster tokenization 🚀)
• Updated to_string methods of:
  • collections.ArithmeticArray
  • collections.Deque
  • collections.Queue
  • collections.Set

Fixed

• collections.Set.#new_set_size now takes unsized sets into consideration
• Constructing Slices from Type now correctly works
• Error message shown when trying to run an unknown file is now written to stderr, not stdout
• Syntax errors now cannot be caught

Removed

• collections.Set.values() (use collections.Set.items)
• English special method names
• iter.zip (use the >< operator)
• iter.enumerate (use the >< operator with <<>>)
• Some dead code :)
• string.format (use String's --- operator)
