Version 0.3.1 released
It’s a little earlier than normal, but it’s still update time.
New documentation
This isn’t very exciting, but we’ve re-done a fair bit of documentation, adding explanations on syntax and special forms, as well as more tutorials on Lua interop and the compiler API & plugin system.
General recursion helper
demhydraz has been working on a whole range of improvements to the standard library. One of these is the new loop
construct. This makes it possible to define a tail-recursive construct without an explicit letrec: Instead of calling
yourself, you call recur. For instance, here is a naive way to reverse a list:
(loop [(o '())
(l '(1 2 3))]
[(empty? l) o]
(recur (cons (car l) o) (cdr l)))
