Although it was designed with functional languages in mind, it should support imperative ones, although it currently lacks some features like a looping construct that might be more suitable for imperative languages. Method Definitions JFuncMachine produces Java classes, which is the only way to generate code for the Java Virtual Machine. https://jfuncmachine.org/utilities/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://jfuncmachine.org/utilities/index.html In addition to the back-end support that JFuncMachine provides, it also has a few utilities for language development, or at least for more rapid prototyping of a language. S-Expressions S-expressions can be an easy way to define a language because you don’t have to deal with precedence. The parsing is generally pretty straightforward. The org.jfuncmachine.sexprlang.parser package provides a simple S-expression parser that can read files or parse strings. S-Expression to Object Mapping Part of the parsing process of a language is getting it into an intermediate representation, and there are often several layers of intermediate representation. https://jfuncmachine.org/examples/index.html Tue, 12 Dec 2023 17:50:23 -0500 https://jfuncmachine.org/examples/index.html Learn how to use the JFuncMachine library through examples.
