Efficient and ergonomic representation of Wolfram expressions in Rust.
## Examples
Construct the expression `{1, 2, 3}`:
```rust
use wolfram_expr::{Expr, Symbol};
let expr = Expr::normal(Symbol::new("System`List"), vec![
Expr::from(1),
Expr::from(2),
Expr::from(3)
]);
```
Pattern match over different expression variants:
```rust
use wolfram_expr::{Expr, ExprKind};
let expr = Expr::from("some arbitrary expression");
match expr.kind() {
ExprKind::Integer(1) => println!("got 1"),
ExprKind::Integer(n) => println!("got {}", n),
ExprKind::Real(_) => println!("got a real number"),
ExprKind::String(s) => println!("got string: {}", s),
ExprKind::Symbol(sym) => println!("got symbol named {}", sym.symbol_name()),
ExprKind::Normal(e) => println!(
"got expr with head {} and length {}",
e.head(),
e.elements().len()
),
}
```
