With pretty parse errors on failures. The type-checker was already
implemented for those, so it now only requires some work in the code
generation.
Fixes#297.
This is a bit annoying as we are forced to use #[related] here which isn't quite what we want.
Ideally, this would use #[diagnostic_source] but, there's a bug upstream. See: zkat/miette#172.
In the similar spirit to what we did for sequences. Yet, we need to handle the case of body being just an assignment -- or a trace of an assignment which is basically the same thing.
Far less verbose than defining classes by hand, plus, it allows to have everything about a single error be co-located. And finally, it allows to use 'related', 'label' and so on more easily.
While Gleam originally allowed various kinds of expressions to be discarded in a sequence, we simply do not allow expressions to be discarded implicitly. So any non-final expression in a sequence must be a let-binding. This prevents silly mistakes.
- Display function's signature next to the function name
(instead of being repeated below the function documentation).
- Same for module constants
- Display record constructors in a more concise manner, with
constructors fields next to constructors.
- Display generic parameters, if any, next to the type
- Plus some minor color and icon rework.
Somehow missed it when reworking tuples. We need to allow the new
'NewLineLeftParen' token in this situation as well. Especially because
this is what the formatter outputs.
Due to how PlutusData works it doesn't make sense
to allow user defined types to contain
functions.
```
type Foo {
bar: fn(Int) -> Int
}
```
The above definition will now return an error.
This possibly breaks many Aiken programs out there, but it's for the
best. We haven't released the alpha yet so we still have a bit of
freedom when it comes to breaking change.
Plus, the migration path is easy, simply run:
```
find . -name "*.ak" | xargs sed -i "s/#(/(/g"
```
(or `-i ''` on MacOS).
This changes allow to use parenthesis `(` `)` to encapsulate
expressions in addition to braces `{` `}` used to define blocks.
The main use-case is for arithmetic and boolean expressions for which
developers are used to using parenthesis. For example:
```
{ 14 + 42 } * 1337
```
can now be written as:
```
( 14 + 42 ) * 1337
```
This may sound straightforward at first but wasn't necessarily trivial
in Aiken given that (a) everything is an expression, (b) whitespaces
do not generally matter and (c) there's no symbol indicating the end
of a 'statement' (because there's no statement).
Thus, we have to properly disambiguate between:
```
let foo = bar(14 + 42)
```
and
```
let foo = bar
(14 + 42)
```
Before this commit, the latter would be interpreted as a function call
and would lead to a somewhat puzzling error. Now, the newline serves
as a delimiting symbol. The trade-off being that for a function call,
the left parenthesis has to be on the same line as the function name
identifier -- which is a fair trade off. So this is still allowed:
```
let foo = bar(
14 + 42
)
```
As there's very little ambiguity about it.
This fixes#236 and would seemingly allow us to get rid of the leading
`#` in front of tuples.
