Functional Programming Language HOPE

Hopeless

Eventually I plan to add here graphics and networking capabilities to use it as a regular language.
On other hand I plan to use it as a scripting language for big programs written in C/C++.

ToDo:

• repeat last enter
• syntax highlighting
• display listing by name
• smart adding of definitions
• concurrency and networking
• graphics through OpenGL

• added '\r' to function "isspace" in ctype.hop
• fixed function "dir" in system_win.hop
• path to libraries changed to /usr/local/share/hopeless
• created man file hopeless.1 (modified hope.1)
• fixed "make install" for Hopeless
• new library lib/db_sqlite.hop (database support with sqlite3)
• added functions "del" and "write_to" to lib/system.hop
• check for '\n' and '\r' before run commands ("!...")
• defined constant "stdin" instead of functions "getc" and "gets" (lib/system.hop)
• modified test _input.hop

22-Jun-2008 hopeless-v0.4.tar.bz2 (99K)

• separate file version.h for APPNAME and VERSION macros
• longer supported filenames (now 256 instead of 100)
• more simultaniously supported streams (now 100 instead of 20)
• restricted mode (-r) now allows reading, but disables running commands ("!...")
• now "mktemp" is used to create temporary filename for running commands
• more available variables in "env" for CGI mode

21-Jun-2008 hopeless-v0.3.tar.bz2 (99K)

• new example test/_input.hop demonstrates input from keyboard (stdin)
• fixed lib/lines.hop to skip '\r'
• new library lib/system.hop and lib/system_win.hop (functons "getc" and "gets")
• new library lib/string.hop (right now only to define type "string")
• added function "dir" to lib/system.hop and lib/system_win.hop
• new predefined list "env" with some environment variables for CGI

02-Sep-2007 hopeless-v0.2.tar.bz2 (98K)

• function "read" now can run commands (if filename starts with !)
• new example test/_run.hop demonstrates #!/..., argv and read("!...")

27-Jun-2007 hopeless-v0.1.tar.bz2 (98K)

• option -v prints new name and version
• interactive command "write" does not print quotations now
• new interactive command "help" prints list of interactive commands
