CORE LANGUAGE FEATURES
- Proc default arguments
- Traces
- [static] command
CORE COMMANDS
- All the missing standard core commands not related to I/O, namespaces, ...
- [tail] command for programmer-driven tail recursion optimization
- The current [expr] needs a lot of work, expecially operators && and ||
are not lazy. Math functions are not present but probably will never
be added as expr functions, but as Tcl commands, like [sin], [cos] and
so on.
- [onleave] command, executing something as soon as the current procedure
returns. With no arguments it returns the script set, with one appends
the onleave script. There should be a way to reset.
- [proc] without arguments may return a list of all the procedures
(no C commands). While with a single argument (the name of a proc)
may return [list $args $statics $body].
OTHER COMMANDS NOT IN TCL BUT THAT SHOULD BE IN JIM
- Set commands: [lunion], [lintersect], and [ldifference]
EXTENSIONS
- Regexp extension
- OOP system
SPEED OPTIMIZATIONS
- Find a way to avoid interpolation/reparsing in "foo($bar)" tokens.
See the "sieve" and "ary" bench performances, result of this problem.
(to compare with sieve_dict is also useful.)
- Many other possible things, including better literal sharing.
- Generate .c from Jim programs, as calls to the Jim API to avoid
the performance penality of Jim_EvalObj() overhead. In the future
try to generate the calls like a JIT emitting assembler from
Jim directly.
IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES
- Objects lazy free.
- Rewrite all the commands accepting a set of options to use Jim_GetEnum().
ERROR MESSAGES
- Display the procedure relative file number where the error happened.
Like:
In procedure 'check' line 11, called at file "test.tcl", line 1024
instead of just:
In procedure 'check' called at file "test.tcl", line 1024
REFERENCES SYSTEM
- Unify ref/getref/setref/collect/finalize under an unique [ref] command.
- Add a 'call' attribute to references in order to call a given procedure
if the name of a reference is used as command name.
API FUNCTIONS TO EXPORT
- Jim_FormatString()
RANDOM THINGS TO DO ASAP
- .jimrc loading, using the ENV variable
