mochi 0.2.7

Dynamically typed functional programming language

Mochi is a dynamically typed programming language for functional programming and actor-style programming.

Its interpreter is written in Python3. The interpreter translates a program written in Mochi to Python3’s AST / bytecode.

Features

• Python-like syntax

• Tail recursion optimization (self tail recursion only), and no loop syntax

• Re-assignments are not allowed in function definition.

• Basic collection type is a persistent data structure. (using Pyrsistent)

• Pattern matching / Data types, like algebraic data types

• Pipeline operator

• Syntax sugar of anonymous function definition

• Actor, like the actor of Erlang (using Eventlet)

• Macro, like the traditional macro of Lisp

• Builtin functions includes functions exported by itertools module, recipes, functools module and operator module

Examples

Factorial

def factorial(n, m):
    if n == 1:
        m
    else:
        factorial(n - 1, n * m)


factorial(10000, 1)
# => 28462596809170545189064132121198688...

# Or

def factorial:
    n: factorial(n, 1)
    0, acc: acc
    n, acc: factorial(n - 1, acc * n)

factorial(10000)
# => 28462596809170545189064132121198688...

FizzBuzz

def fizzbuzz(n):
    match [n % 3, n % 5]:
        [0, 0]: "fizzbuzz"
        [0, _]: "fizz"
        [_, 0]: "buzz"
        _: n

range(1, 31)
|> map(fizzbuzz)
|> pvector()
|> print()

Actor

def show():
    receive:
        message:
            print(message)
            show()

actor = spawn(show)

send('foo', actor)
actor ! 'bar' # send('bar', actor)

sleep(1)
# -> foo
# -> bar


'foo' !> spawn(show)

sleep(1)
# -> foo

['foo', 'bar'] !&> spawn(show)
# The meaning of the above is the same as the meaning of the following.
# spawn(show) ! 'foo'
# spawn(show) ! 'bar'

sleep(1)
# -> foo
# -> bar

def show_loop():
    receive:
        [tag, value]:
            print(tag, value)
            show_loop()

actor2 = spawn(show_loop)

actor2 ! ["bar", 2000]
sleep(1)
# -> bar 2000

['foo', 1000] !> spawn(show_loop)
sleep(1)
# -> foo 1000

[['foo', 1000],['bar', 2000]] !&> spawn(show_loop)
sleep(1)
# -> foo 1000
# -> bar 2000
