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.
When calling get with more than two arguments, treat the rest as indexes
into the expression from the former. That is, (get foo "bar" "baz")
would translate to foo["bar"]["baz"], and so on.
This fixes#362.

* hy/contrib/anaphoric.hy: The following anaphoric macros have been
added
`ap-reject` : Opposite of ap-filter, yields the elements when a `pred`
evaluates to false
`ap-dotimes` : Execute body forms (possibly for side-effects) n times
with `it` bound from 0 to n-1
`ap-first` : return the first element that passes predicate
`ap-last` : return the last element that passes predicate
`ap-reduce`: anaphoric form of reduce that allows `acc` and `it` to
create a function that is applied over the list
* docs/contrib/anaphoric.rst: updated docs to reflect these changes
* tests/__init__.py: updated to explicitly include tests for anaphoric
macros
Apply didn't work on method calls (i.e. `(apply .foo [bar]) broke).
This slipped through because there were no tests of this behavior. I noticed
it while trying to merge the `meth` fixes.
Added first iteration of reader macros
Refactored defmacro and defreader
Added test inn hy/tests/lex/test_lex.py
Added new test in hy/tests/native/tests
Added new test in hy/tests/macros.
changed the error given in the dispatch macro and added some handling for missing symbol and invalid characters
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
Like other lisps, operators `+` and `*` return their identity values
when called with no arguments. Also with a single operand they return
the operand.
This fixes#372
The fancypants Hy award goes to Nick for coming up with the quoted
symbol hack for exports. This broke with foo?, since the export string
needs to be is_foo, but using a quoted string will pick up the change
due to it being a Symbol.
Mad clown love for that, @olasd.
A couple of more macros:
hy> (--each-while [1 2 3 4 5] (< it 3) (print it))
1
2
3
hy>
```--each-while``` continues to evaluate the body form while the
predicate form is true for each element in the list.
```--map-when``` uses a predicate form to determine when to apply the
map form upon the element in the list:
hy> (list (--map-when (even? it) (* it 3) [1 2 3 4]))
[1, 6, 3, 12]
Anaphoric macros reduce the need to specify a lambda by binding a
special name in a form passed as a parameter to the macro. This allows
you to write more concise code:
(= (list (--filter (even? it) [1 2 3 4])) [2 4])
This patch just adds a few basic ones. Other forms that can be
converted to anaphoric versions include reduce, remove, enumerate,
etc.
This gets rid of the dichotomy between bootstrap.py and macros.hy,
by making both files hy modules.
I added some error checking to make the macros more resilient. The
biggest (user-visible) change is the change in cond, which now only
accepts lists as arguments. Tests updated accordingly.
Closes: #176 (whoops, no more bootstrap)
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.
This will let us use (basic) yield from behavior from Python 2. This
isn't complete, and is low-hanging fruit for others willing to hack
on hy.
I've also changed the macrosystem to allow for proper bootstrapping.
This is similar to how it's done elsewhere in the codebase (stdlib
stuff).
Updated most methods to replace While with For, and added tons of new tests
for things like (cycle []) and lists with None's in them.
thanks @olasd
Add set of new core functions
Add set of new core functions to the stdlib.
Moved the auto-import code from compile_expression to
HySymbol so that "even?' in this style expression will
be found and imported.
(list (filter even? [1 2 3 4 5]))
The core functions are documented in 2 sections, one
for basic functions like (even?..) and (nth ...) and
one for all the sequence functions.
Update: This removes all the caching decorators, misnamed as
'lazy-seq' from the core. All sequence methods now just use
yield to return a generator, so they are Python-lazy
Further refinements of core functions
Cleaned up the docs to use 'iterator' instead of 'generator'
Fixed drop to just return the iterator instead of an extra
yield loop. But also added a test to catch dropping too
many.
This adds a class to avoid returning when we have a Yieldable
expression contained in the body of the function. This breaks Python
2.x, and ought to break Python 3.x, but doesn't.
We need this fo' context managers, etc.
This commit also has work from @rwtolbert adding new testcases and
fixes for yielded entries behind a while / for.

This will let us implement common functions seen in other lisps,
and allow them to be importable, without explicit imports. The goal
is to keep this as small as we can; we don't want too much magic.
I've added `take' and `drop' as examples of what we can do.
A macro is available in the module where it was defined and
in any module that does a require of the defining module.
Only macros defined in hy.core are globally available.
Fixes#181
The new and improved (import) can handle all cases import-as and
import-from did, so drop the latter two from the language. To do this,
the import builtin had to be changed a little: if there's a single
import statement to return, return it as-is, otherwise return a list of
imports.

This also fixes a bug in the pass optimize missing branch where the code is
something like: [stmt, [], stmt]; in such case we want to filter out [], so
if we end up with [] we can optimize it. This fix is needed otherwise (do)
inside (do) are not properly optimized.

With these changes, the import function will become a lot smarter, and
will combine all of import, import-from and import-as in a hyly lispy
syntax:
(import sys os whatever_else)
(import [sys [exit argv]] [os :as real_os]
[whatever_else [some_function :as sf]])
That is, each argument of import can be:
- A plain symbol, which will be imported
- A list, which will be handled specially
If the argument is a list, the first element will always be the module
name to import, the second member can be either of these:
- A list of symbols to import
- The ':as' keyword
- Nothing
If it is the ':as' keyword, the third argument must be an alias. If it
is a list of symbols to import, we'll iterate through that list too. If
any symbol is followed by an ':as' keyword, we'll pick all three, and
treat the third member as an alias. If there is nothing else in the
list, we'll import the module as-is.
All this combined fixes#113.

Note: This is implemented by replacing all calls to Python's
builtin "compile" function by calls to hy.importer.compile_,
which adds the "future division" flag. Anyone using "compile"
in future work will have to remember this.
This implements keywords, ":" prefixed symbols that are able to look
themselves up in a collection. They're internally stored as strings that
start with "\ufdd0".
This fixes#22.
