# uni-core


The core interpreter library for the Uni programming language - a homoiconic stack-based language that unifies code and data.
## Features
- **Homoiconic** - Code and data have identical representation
- **Stack-based** - All operations work with a central computation stack
- **Tail-call optimized** - Continuation-based evaluator enables infinite recursion
- **Multiple numeric types** - Integers, rationals, floats, and complex numbers
- **no_std compatible** - Works on embedded systems without the Rust standard library
## Quick Start
Add to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
uni-core = "0.0.12"
```
Basic usage:
```rust
use uni_core::{Interpreter, execute_string};
fn main() {
let mut interp = Interpreter::new();
// Execute Uni code
execute_string("5 3 +", &mut interp).unwrap();
// Get result from stack
if let Some(result) = interp.stack.last() {
println!("Result: {}", result); // Output: 8
}
}
```
## Example: Calculator
```rust
use uni_core::{Interpreter, execute_string};
let mut interp = Interpreter::new();
// Define a square function
execute_string("'square [dup *] def", &mut interp).unwrap();
// Use it
execute_string("5 square", &mut interp).unwrap();
println!("{}", interp.stack.last().unwrap()); // Output: 25
```
## Optional Features
- `std` - Standard library support (default: disabled)
- `advanced_math` - Trigonometric functions, exp/log, rounding
- `complex_numbers` - Complex number and Gaussian integer support
- `repl` - REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) with line editing support
- `datetime` - Date/time operations (requires `std`)
- `hardware-microbit` - micro:bit v2 hardware primitives
- `hardware-pico2` - Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (RP2350) hardware primitives
- `hardware-stm32h753zi` - STM32H753ZI hardware primitives (async Embassy)
## Using the REPL
To build products with custom primitives and an interactive REPL:
```rust
use uni_core::{Interpreter, repl::run_repl, Value, RuntimeError};
use uni_core::interpreter::DictEntry;
use editline::terminals::StdioTerminal;
use std::rc::Rc;
// Your custom primitive
fn my_op(interp: &mut Interpreter) -> Result<(), RuntimeError> {
let n = interp.pop_number()?;
interp.push(Value::Number(n * 42.0));
Ok(())
}
fn main() {
let mut interp = Interpreter::new();
// Register custom primitive
let atom = interp.intern_atom("my-op");
interp.dictionary.insert(atom, DictEntry {
value: Value::Builtin(my_op),
is_executable: true,
doc: Some(Rc::from("Multiply by 42\nUsage: n my-op => result")),
});
// Start REPL with your custom primitives
run_repl(interp, StdioTerminal::new());
}
```
Enable the `repl` feature in your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
uni-core = { version = "0.0.12", features = ["repl"] }
editline = "0.0.20"
```
