The implementation of `hy.core.language.exec` draws code from the `exec_` function in commit f574c7be6ebc80041ef58ca29588f310248ebed4 of the library Six, which is copyright 2010–2017 Benjamin Peterson and licensed under the Expat license.
* Add comp, constantly and complement
relates #1176
* Fix composition order in comp
* comp without parameters returns identity
* Doc edits for comp, complement, constantly
* Test that `(comp)` returns `identity` exactly
* Simplify the `reduce` call in `comp`
* updated version of comp
Per the straw poll in #908, as an alternative to #1147.
Now you must use `True`, `False`, and `None`, as in Python. Or just assign `true` to `True`, etc.; the old synonyms aren't reserved words anymore.
This allows them to be used with numeric types that aren't built in, such as NumPy arrays. Because Python uses duck typing, there's generally no way to know in advance whether a given value will accept a given operator. Of course, things like `(inc "hello")` will still raise a `TypeError`, because so does `(+ "hello" 1)`.
This changes let to use a flat list of symbol-value pairs instead of a
vector of vectors. One side effect is that (let [[a 1] z]) is not
expressible now, and one will explicitly need to set a nil value for z,
such as: (let [a 1 z nil]).
Closes#713.

Our MetaImporter was being inserted at the end of sys.meta_path.
For Python prior to 3.3, this was fine since sys.meta_path
was empty by default. As of the completion of PEP 302 in Py3.3 and
later, there are several importers registered by default. One of
these was trying (and failing) to import simple Hy modules,
resulting in a failure to import anything inside __init__.hy.
This change simply inserts the Hy-specific importer at the front
of the list.
This was noted in issue #620 (great catch @algernon)
As a result:
* functions such as `nth` should work correctly on iterators;
* `nth` will raise `IndexError` (in a fashion consistent with `get`)
when the index is out of bounds;
* `take`, etc. will raise `ValueError` instead of returning
an ambiguous value if the index is negative;
* `map`, `zip`, `range`, `input`, `filter` work the same way (Py3k one)
on both Python 2 and 3 (see #523 and #331).
* hy/core/language.hy: Adding a simple `identity` function that returns
the argument supplied to it
* docs/language/core.rst: Updated docs with identity function
* hy/core/language.hy:
-Added a simple coll? function that checks whether the given argument
is an iterable and not a string,
- Also replaced the check in `flatten` by coll?
* tests/native_tests/core.hy: Tests updated for checking coll?
This cleans up a number of doc warnings, including a bad
underline for zero?
While there, added a nil? function to match up with the
new nil is None.
Also un-hid myself from coreteam.
Adding to the manual gensym for macros are 2 new
macros, but very literal from the CL in
letoverlambda.
The first is the (with-gensyms ...) macro that
can generate a small set of syms for a macro. Works
something like:
(defmacro adder2 [A B]
(with-gensyms [a b]
`(let [[~a ~A] [~b ~B]]
(+ ~a ~b))))
and ~a and ~b will be replaced with (gensym "a") and
(gensym "b") respectively.
Then the final macro is a new defmacro that will automatically
replace symbols prefaced with "g!" with a new gensym based on the
rest of the symbol. So in this final version of 'nif':
(defmacro/g! nif4 (expr pos zero neg)
`(let [[~g!result ~expr]]
(cond [(pos? ~g!result) ~pos]
[(zero? ~g!result) ~zero]
[(neg? ~g!result) ~neg])))
all uses of ~g!result will be replaced with (gensym "result").
Simple implementation of gensym in Hy.
Returns a new HySymbol.
Usable in macros like:
(defmacro nif [expr pos zero neg]
(let [[g (gensym)]]
`(let [[~g ~expr]]
(cond [(pos? ~g) ~pos]
[(zero? ~g) ~zero]
[(neg? ~g) ~neg]))))
This addresses all the general comments about (gensym), and doesn't
try to implement "auto-gensym" yet. But clearly the macro approach
instead of the pre-processor approach (as described in the
letoverlambda (http://letoverlambda.com/index.cl/guest/chap3.html#sec_5)
is the way to go
This rounds out the first pass at a set of core functions, adding
some that were not in the first PR.
From here I'm working on a contrib.seq and contrib.io module to
hold less obvious but maybe interesting native functions that can
move to core if desired.
This should also close out issure #150 asking for some core
functions like these.
