Roadmap for RiTa v3.0

[dhowe]

RiTa 3.0 is a major release that improves functionality, modularisation, further improves consistency of function options, and enhances performance. It also features improved syntax and features for RiScript.

General

Better function chaining support (any function taking a string, should also take string array )

RiMarkov

• generate() should always return a single string, containing multiple sentences if needed
• support for long-running generation via web-workers or other means (also Lexicon scans)

RiScript

• Migrate () -> [] for options
• Add JSON-style metadata tags
• Alternative syntax for symbols, perhaps or %name%
• Support floating point weights (need new syntax) -- adjust weights directly rather than iterating
• Include ranges [a-z] or [1-9] in choice, also re-introduce sequences
• Rethink conditionals
• Rethink $$ vs $

Feature Requests

• Support plugins? Including lexicon (even RiScript?) as plugin ?
• Support RiScript as its own package ? How would this work with grammars ? Perhaps only straight JSON out of box
• Conversion functions for Tracery, Perchance grammars... [others?]
