MiniML-rs

A rewrite of MiniML in Rust. Originally MiniML was in Python.

Features

adopted from miniml/README

• Function as first-class citizen, higher order functions
• Compile to SECD IR
• Associated IR interpreter.
• [TODO] Polymorphic type checking.
• [TODO] Pattern matching (as powerful as in ML).
• [TODO] garbage collection
• [TODO] polymorphic types
• [TODO] optimizations
  • Tail recursive SECD
  • CPS
  • Even G machine maybe?

Run

$ cargo build
$ ./target/debug/miniml testcases/closure.ml -o t.secd
$ ./target/debug/secdi t.secd

You can cross check miniml-rs with miniml by

$ ./scripts/xchk.sh

spurious ok:

• typer
• anything containing bad

TODO

• typer, (complete) codegen
• validate translation from CFG to PEG (now the PEG is unchecked rewrite of CFG)
• use more &str than String (at the expense of littering <'a>?)
• xchk for negative input
