An expert in expressions!
⚠ Work in progress ⚠
Design Goals
- plays well with async environments
- fast with the default configuration
- highly tunable for different use-cases
- supports wirefilter syntax which itself is based on wireshark filter syntax.
- execute other expressions when doing async work
- easily embeddable in other languages (current target: go, PHP, typescript, python)
- everything is idempotent and side-effect free by default
- if a user writes an unoptimized code, compile and optimize it to the optimized version. if the compiler knows a code is not optimized, it should just compile it to the optimized version instead of showing a message to user.
- all values are inferred. no dynamic functions or values
Maybe?
- PGO or JIT
- string interning?
- directly compile to wasm format (instead of using our own vm)
- usable as library and cli (something like awk?)
