-------------------------------------------------------------
Somersault is a tiny functional programming language inspired by RPAL and
modern programming languages (think Python, Ruby, or Haskell). It's not
intended to appeal to anyone other than myself; it's more like a sandbox
for my experiments.
The current implementation is written in OCaml.
---
Somersault is syntactically similar to the ML family of languages.
A Somersault program consists of a single expression. There are no assignments
or statements in Somersault.
Available primitives include booleans, integers, and (immutable) strings.
The basic collection type is a heterogenous tuple.
The virtual machine is based on the CSE (Control, Stack, Environment) machine,
which oddly has very literature written about it. Suggestions for alternatives
are welcome.
