Magpie Programming Language

Chinese version: 中文

Summary

Magpie is a toy language interpreter, written in Go. It has C-style syntax, and is largely inspired by Ruby, Python, Perl and c#.

It support the normal control flow, functional programming and object oriented programming. and also can import golang's module.

It has a built-in documentation generator(mdoc) for generating html document from magpie source.

It has a simple debugger which you can experience with it.

It also has a REPL with realtime syntax highlighter.

I also made a simple programming language written using magpie.

You can even run most of the magpie script in a web browser.

Documention

Complete language tutorial can be found in docs

Example1(Linq)

// async/await
async fn add(a, b) { a + b }

result = await add(1, 2)
println(result)

// linq example
class Linq {
    static fn TestSimpleLinq() {
        //Prepare Data Source
        let ingredients = [

Getting started

Tuple

datetime literal
let month = "01"
let dt0 = dt/2018-{month}-01 12:01:00/
println(dt0)

let dt1 = dt/2018-01-01 12:01:00/.addDate(1, 2, 3).add(time.SECOND * 10) //add 1 year, two months, three days and 10 seconds

*/
//same result as 'dt1'

printf("dt2 = %v\n", dt2)
//same resutl as above
//printf("dt2 = %s\n", dt2.toStr()) //use 'toStr()' method to convert datetime to string.

let dt3 = dt/2019-01-01 12:01:00/
//you could also use strftiem() to convert time object to string. below code converts time object to 'yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss'
format = dt3.strftime("%Y/%m/%d %T")
println(dt3.toStr(format))

////////////////////////////////
// time object to timestamp
////////////////////////////////
println(dt3.unix()) //to timestamp(UTC)
println(dt3.unixNano()) //to timestamp(UTC)
println(dt3.unixLocal()) //to timestamp(LOCAL)
println(dt3.unixLocalNano()) //to timestamp(LOCAL)

////////////////////////////////
// timestamp to time object
////////////////////////////////
timestampUTC = dt3.unix()      //to timestamp(UTC)
println(unixTime(timestampUTC)) //timestamp to time

timestampLocal = dt3.unixLocal() //to timestamp(LOCAL)
println(unixTime(timestampLocal)) //timestamp to time

////////////////////////////////
// datetime comparation
////////////////////////////////
//two datetime literals could be compared using '>', '>=', '<', '<=' and '=='
let dt4 = dt/2018-01-01 12:01:00/
let dt5 = dt/2019-01-01 12:01:00/

println(dt4 <= dt5) //returns true
Regular expression

In magpie, regard to regular expression, you could use:

  • Regular expression literal
  • 'regexp' module
  • =~ and !~ operators(like perl's)
//Use regular expression literal( /pattern/.match(str) )
let regex = /\d+\t/.match("abc 123	mnj")
if (regex) { println("regex matched using regular expression literal") }

//Use 'regexp' module
if regexp.compile(``\d+\t``).match("abc 123	mnj") {
    println("regex matched using 'regexp' module")
}

//Use '=~'(str =~ pattern)
if "abc 123	mnj" =~ ``\d+\t`` {
    println("regex matched using '=~'")
}else {
    println("regex not matched using '=~'")
}
Conversion
// convert to string using str() function
x = str(10) // convert 10 to string  

// convert to int using int() function
x1 = int("10")   // x1 = 10
x2 = +"10" // same as above

y1 = int("0x10") // y1 = 16
y2 = +"0x10" // same as above

// convert to float using float() funciton
x = float("10.2")

// convert to array using array() funciton
x = array("10") // x = ["10"]
y = array((1, 2, 3)) // convert tuple to array

// convert to tuple using tuple() funciton
x = tuple("10") // x = ("10",)
y = tuple([1, 2, 3]) // convert array to tuple

// convert to hash using hash() function
x = hash(["name", "jack", "age", 20]) // array->hash: x = {"name" : "jack", "age" : 20}
y = hash(("name", "jack", "age", 20)) // tuple->hash: x = {"name" : "jack", "age" : 20}

// if the above conversion functions have no arguments, they simply return
// new corresponding types
i = int()   // i = 0
f = float() // f = 0.0
s = str()   // s = ""
h = hash()  // h = {}
a = array() // a = []
t = tuple() // t = ()
Simple Macro Processing
#define DEBUG

// only support two below formats:
//    1. #ifdef xxx { body }
//    2. #ifdef xxx { body } #else { body }, here only one '#else' is supported'.
#ifdef DEBUG2
{
    add = fn(x, y) { x + y }
    printf("add = %d\n", add(1, 2))
}
#else
{
    sub = fn(x, y) { x - y }
    printf("sub = %d\n", sub(3, 1))
}

#define TESTING
#ifdef TESTING
{
    add = fn(x, y) { x + y }
    printf("add = %d\n", add(1, 2))
}
Function
  • Default value
  • Variadic parameters
  • Mutiple return values
//Function with default values and variadic parameters
add = fn(x, y=5, z=7, args...) {
    w = x + y + z
    for i in args {
        w += i
    }
    return w
}
w = add(2,3,4,5,6,7)
println(w)

let z = (x,y) => x * y + 5
println(z(3,4)) //result :17

# multiple returns
fn testReturn(a, b, c, d=40) {
    return a, b, c, d
}
let (x, y, c, d) = testReturn(10, 20, 30) // d is 40

//same as above 'let' statement
//x, y, c, d = testReturn(10, 20, 30) // d is 40
Command Execution

You could use backtick for command execution(like Perl).

if (RUNTIME_OS == "linux") {
    var = "~"
    out = `ls -la $var`
    println(out)
}
elif (RUNTIME_OS == "windows") {
    out = `dir`
    println(out)

    println("")
    println("")
    //test command not exists
    out = `dirs`
    if (!out.ok) {
        printf("Error: %s\n", out)
    }
}
async/await processing

Magpie support async/await.

let add = async fn(a, b) { a + b }

result = await add(3, 4)
println(result)
Class
  • Simple
  • Inheritance
  • Operator overloading
  • Property(like c#)
  • Indexer
Simple
class Animal {
    let name = ""
    fn init(name) {    //'init' is the constructor
        //do somthing
    }
}
Inheritance
class Dog : Animal { //Dog inherits from Animal
}
Operator overloading
class Vector {
    let x = 0;
    let y = 0;

    fn init (a, b) {
        x = a; y = b
    }

    fn +(v) { //overloading '+'
        if (type(v) == "INTEGER" {
            return new Vector(x + v, y + v);
        } elif v.is_a(Vector) {
            return new Vector(x + v.x, y + v.y);
        }
        return nil;
    }

    fn String() {
        return fmt.sprintf("(%v),(%v)", this.x, this.y);
    }

v1 = new Vector(1,2);
v2 = new Vector(4,5);

v3 = v1 + v2

v4 = v1 + 10

Property(like c#)
class Date {
    let month = 7;  // Backing store
    property Month
    {
        get { return month }
        set {
            if ((value > 0) && (value < 13))
            {
                month = value
            } else {
               println("BAD, month is invalid")
            }
        }
    }

    property Year; // same as 'property Year { get; set;}'
    property Day { get; }

    fn init(year, month, day) {
        this.Year = year
        this.Month = month
        this.Day = day
    }

    fn getDateInfo() {
        printf("Year:%v, Month:%v, Day:%v\n", this.Year, this.Month, this.Day)
    }
}

dateObj = new Date(2000, 5, 11)
dateObj.getDateInfo()
Indexer
class IndexedNames
{
    let namelist = []
    let size = 10
    fn init()
    {
        let i = 0
        for (i = 0; i < size; i++)

Standard input/output/error

There are three predefined object for representing standard input, standard output, standard error. They are stdin, stdout, stderr.

stdout.writeLine("Hello world")
//same as above
fmt.fprintf(stdout, "Hello world\n")

print("Please type your name:")
name = stdin.read(1024)  //read up to 1024 bytes from stdin
println("Your name is " + name)

//You can also using Insertion operator (`<<`) and Extraction operator(`>>`)
//just like c++ to operate stdin/stdout/stderr.
stdout << "hello " << "world!" << " How are you?" << endl;
Exception Handling(try-catch-finally)
// Note: Only support throw string type
let exceptStr = "SUMERROR"
try {
    let th = 1 + 2
    if (th == 3) { throw exceptStr }
}
catch e {
    printf("Catched: %s\n", e)
}
finally {
    println("finally running")
}
Optional Type(Java 8 like)
fn safeDivision?(a, b) {
    if (b == 0){
        return optional.empty();
    } else {
        return optional.of(a/b);
    }
}

op1 = safeDivision?(10, 0)
if (!op1.isPresent()) {
    println(op1)
}
Regular expression
//literal: /pattern/.match(str)
let regex = /\d+\t/.match("abc 123 mnj")
if (regex) {
    println("regex matched using regular expression literal")
}

//Use '=~'(str =~ pattern)
if "abc 123	mnj" =~ ``\d+\t`` {
    println("regex matched using '=~'")
}else {
    println("regex not matched using '=~'")
}
Pipe Operator
// Test pipe operator(|>)
x = ["hello", "world"] |> strings.join(" ") |> strings.upper() |> strings.lower() |> strings.title()

//same as above
//x = ["hello", "world"] |> strings.join(" ") |> strings.upper |> strings.lower |> strings.title
printf("x=<%s>\n", x)
linq
let mm = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
