/- Ok, so this is newt, a dependent typed programming language that I am implementing to learn how they work. It targets javascript and borrows a lot of syntax from Idris and Agda. This page is a very simple web playground based on the monaco editor. It runs newt, compiled by Idris2, in a web worker. Block comments follow Lean because they're easier to type on a US keyboard. The output, to the right, is somewhat noisy and obtuse. You'll see INFO and sometimes ERROR messages that show up in the editor view on hover. I'm emitting INFO for solved metas. The Day1.newt and Day2.newt are last year's advent of code, translated from Lean. -/ -- One-line comments begin with two hyphens -- every file begins with a `module` declaration -- it must match the filename module Tour -- We can import other modules, with a flat namespace and no cycles, -- diamonds are ok -- commented out until we preload other files into the worker -- import Lib -- We're calling the universe U and are doing type in type for now -- Inductive type definitions are similar to Idris, Agda, or Haskell data Nat : U where Z : Nat S : Nat -> Nat -- Multiple names are allowed on the left: data Bool : U where True False : Bool -- function definitions are equations using dependent pattern matching plus : Nat -> Nat -> Nat plus Z m = m plus (S n) m = S (plus n m) -- we can also have case statements on the right side -- the core language includes case statements -- here `\` is used for a lambda expression: plus' : Nat -> Nat -> Nat plus' = \ n m => case n of Z => m S n => S (plus n m) -- We can define operators, currently only infix -- and we allow unicode and letters in operators infixl 2 _≡_ -- Here is an equality, like Idris, everything goes to the right of the colon -- Implicits are denoted with braces `{ }` -- unlike idris, you have to declare all of your implicits data _≡_ : {A : U} -> A -> A -> U where Refl : {A : U} {a : A} -> a ≡ a -- And now the compiler can verify that 1 + 1 = 2 test : plus (S Z) (S Z) ≡ S (S Z) test = Refl -- Ok now we do typeclasses.

It is not doing erasure (or inlining) yet, so the -- code is a little verbose. -- We can define native types: ptype Int : U ptype String : U ptype Char : U -- The names of these three types are special, primitive numbers, strings, -- and characters inhabit them, respectively. We can match on primitives, but -- must provide a default case: isVowel : Char -> Bool isVowel 'a' = True isVowel 'e' = True isVowel 'i' = True isVowel 'o' = True isVowel 'u' = True isVowel _ = False -- And primitive functions have a type and a javascript definition: pfunc plusInt : Int -> Int -> Int := "(x,y) => x + y" pfunc plusString : String -> String -> String := "(x,y) => x + y" -- We can make them Plus instances: PlusInt : Plus Int PlusInt = MkPlus plusInt PlusString : Plus String PlusString = MkPlus plusString concat : String -> String -> String concat a b = a + b -- Now we define Monad data Monad : (U -> U) -> U where MkMonad : {m : U -> U} -> ({a : U} -> a -> m a) -> ({a b : U} -> m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b) -> Monad m pure : ∀ m. {{Monad m}} -> {a : U} -> a -> m a pure {{MkMonad p _}} a = p a -- we can declare multiple infix operators at once infixl 1 _>>=_ _>>_ _>>=_ : ∀ m a b. {{Monad m}} -> m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b _>>=_ {{MkMonad _ b}} ma amb = b ma amb _>>_ : ∀ m a b. {{Monad m}} -> m a -> m b -> m b ma >> mb = ma >>= (λ _ => mb) -- That's our Monad typeclass, now let's make a List monad infixr 3 _::_ data List : U -> U where Nil : ∀ A.
