Changelog History

• v0.33.0 Changes

  November 03, 2020

  🚀 This release sets the foundation for morloc. Basic typechecking/inference, code generation, interoperability, and serialization are all working well. Finally morloc is sufficiently developed to be useful.

  The main future goals break down as follows:

  • Richer type system - typeclasses, "shapes", semantic types (probably use a logic engine like z3)
  • ⚠ Effect handling and error/warning propagation
  • Optimization - all current optimizations steps are basically stubs
  • 📚 Doxygen-like documentation, caching, manifold hooks and such (see the last release)
  • 👌 Improved build system
  • 👌 Support for many more languages and a streamlined language onboarding process
  • 📦 The MorlocIO package manager and community portal
  • MorlocStudio

• v0.17.2 Changes

  May 06, 2019

  🚀 This release marks the version of morloc that was used in the poster presented at PyCon 2019 in Cleveland.

• v0.16.1 Changes

  September 24, 2018

  🚀 This release presents a very simple Morloc prototype. It is mostly experimental and will change greatly in the future with no attempt to preserve backwards compatibility.

  This prototype includes

  • A simple, typed, functional scripting language
  • A compiler to translate these scripts into RDF graphs and then executable code
  • Simple type checking
  • 👌 Support for Python and R
  • A system for specifying language-specific types and transforming the data as needed
  • Syntax for specifying type constraints

• v0.11.0 Changes

  March 22, 2018

  This prototype is (currently) much less sophisticated than the C prototype. However, the code is far more elegant and will serve as a more flexible foundation for future development.

  It can currently run R code in a simple shell interface. For example:

  > sum [1,2,3]
  6
  

  This passes the Morloc vector [1,2,3] into the R function sum and returns the result.

  🚀 This pre-release is an experimental foundation for the Morloc language. The syntax and features will change wildly in the future with no attempt at maintaining backwards compatibility.

• v0.10.1 Changes

  March 22, 2018

  This is the final version of the C prototype.

  The features are described in the README. Here is an overview:

  ↔ integrated R, Python, and Bash through a simple type system

  workflows are pull-based graphs

  explores the "manifold" template idea and multi-dimensional workflows

  compilation exposes all exported functions through the manifold nexus

  👍 allows checks and effects to be added outside of the core workflow

  This prototype will not be maintained in the future.
