§OVSM - Open Versatile Seeker Mind Language Interpreter

Crates.io Documentation License: MIT

A production-ready interpreter for the OVSM scripting language, designed for blockchain automation, data processing, and general-purpose scripting with a focus on safety and performance.

§Features

  • ✅ Complete Language Implementation - Full control flow, data types, operators
  • 🚀 Production Ready - 97.3% test coverage, zero unsafe code
  • 📚 Well Documented - Comprehensive API docs with examples
  • ⚡ Fast Execution - Direct AST interpretation with minimal overhead
  • 🔒 Type Safe - Runtime type checking with clear error messages

§Quick Start

Add OVSM to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
ovsm = "1.0.0"

§Basic Usage

Execute OVSM code from a string:

use ovsm::{Evaluator, Parser, Scanner, Value};

// OVSM code to execute
let code = r#"
    $sum = 0
    FOR $i IN [1..11]:
        $sum = $sum + $i
    RETURN $sum
"#;

// Tokenize (scan)
let mut scanner = Scanner::new(code);
let tokens = scanner.scan_tokens()?;

// Parse into AST
let mut parser = Parser::new(tokens);
let program = parser.parse()?;

// Execute
let mut evaluator = Evaluator::new();
let result = evaluator.execute(&program)?;

assert_eq!(result, Value::Int(55)); // Sum of 1-10

§Complete Example Function

Create a reusable function to execute OVSM code:

use ovsm::{Evaluator, Parser, Scanner, Value, Result};

fn execute_ovsm(code: &str) -> Result<Value> {
    let mut scanner = Scanner::new(code);
    let tokens = scanner.scan_tokens()?;
    let mut parser = Parser::new(tokens);
    let program = parser.parse()?;
    let mut evaluator = Evaluator::new();
    evaluator.execute(&program)
}

// Simple arithmetic
let result = execute_ovsm("RETURN 10 + 20")?;
assert_eq!(result, Value::Int(30));

// Conditional logic
let result = execute_ovsm(r#"
    IF 5 > 3 THEN
        RETURN "greater"
    ELSE
        RETURN "less"
"#)?;
assert_eq!(result, Value::String("greater".to_string()));

§Language Overview

§Data Types

  • Primitives: Int, Float, String, Bool, Null
  • Collections: Arrays [1, 2, 3], Objects {name: "Alice"}
  • Ranges: [1..10] (exclusive end)

§Control Flow

  • IF/THEN/ELSE - Conditional execution
  • FOR ... IN - Iterate over collections, ranges, strings
  • WHILE - Loop while condition is true
  • BREAK / CONTINUE - Loop control (with optional conditions)
  • RETURN - Return values from scripts

§Operators

  • Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, %, ** (power)
  • Comparison: <, >, <=, >=, ==, !=
  • Logical: AND, OR, NOT
  • Ternary: condition ? then : else
  • Membership: IN (check if item in collection)

§Architecture

OVSM follows a classic interpreter architecture:

Source Code → Scanner → Tokens → Parser → AST → Evaluator → Result

§Main Components

  • Scanner - Tokenizes source code into tokens
  • Parser - Parses tokens into Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)
  • Evaluator - Executes the AST and returns results
  • Value - Runtime value representation
  • Environment - Variable storage with scoping
  • ToolRegistry - Built-in functions/tools

§Examples

§Loop with Early Exit

use ovsm::{Evaluator, Parser, Scanner, Value};

let code = "$i = 0\nWHILE $i < 100: $i = $i + 1\nBREAK IF $i >= 42\nRETURN $i";

let mut scanner = Scanner::new(code);
let tokens = scanner.scan_tokens()?;
let mut parser = Parser::new(tokens);
let program = parser.parse()?;
let mut evaluator = Evaluator::new();
let result = evaluator.execute(&program)?;

assert_eq!(result, Value::Int(42));

§Array Operations

use ovsm::{Evaluator, Parser, Scanner, Value};

let code = "$arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]\n$total = SUM($arr)\nRETURN $total";

let mut scanner = Scanner::new(code);
let tokens = scanner.scan_tokens()?;
let mut parser = Parser::new(tokens);
let program = parser.parse()?;
let mut evaluator = Evaluator::new();
let result = evaluator.execute(&program)?;

assert_eq!(result, Value::Int(15));  // 1+2+3+4+5

§Using Built-in Tools

let code = r#"
$numbers = [10, 25, 5, 30, 15]

$total = SUM($numbers)
$max = MAX($numbers)
$min = MIN($numbers)
$count = COUNT($numbers)
$avg = $total / $count

RETURN {total: $total, max: $max, min: $min, avg: $avg}
"#;

let result = execute(code);
// Result: Object with statistics

§Error Handling

OVSM provides detailed error messages with context:

let code = "$x = 10 / 0";  // Division by zero

let mut scanner = Scanner::new(code);
let tokens = scanner.scan_tokens().unwrap();
let mut parser = Parser::new(tokens);
let program = parser.parse().unwrap();
let mut evaluator = Evaluator::new();

match evaluator.execute(&program) {
    Ok(_) => panic!("Should have failed"),
    Err(e) => {
        // Error message includes context:
        // "Division by zero"
        assert!(e.to_string().contains("Division by zero"));
    }
}

§Resources
