Fourth Release: Python API and Package
- Exposing a Python runtime and API, used with "import joyfl.api as J".
- New error types that are Joy specific so they can easily be caught.
- Rework the architecture to break up the single-file script into components.
- Support for "factory" terms that can inject Python object into quotations at comp-time.
- If operators contain a dot namespace, the code auto-imports from corresponding function in libs/_{ns}.py.
- Named-tuple for Stack object, for efficiency, easier print/debug, and better safety.
- Allow for JOY_PATH envvar to load extension modules and the standard library.
- Using uv for build testing, packaging and publishing.
- Improved error handling showing Joy source more consistently.
- Fix for win32 support when using the repl, previously broken.
- Support fraction types when you use the unicode ⁄ separator for numerator and denominator.
- Python-side operators use standard type annotations for ease-of-use, correctness.
