Roadmap for "nom" Branch

Last Updated 12 July 2011

Note that this isn't strictly in order, though things nearer to the top are likely to get focus sooner.

Current fails that people are likely to encounter (no particular order):

  • core constants (e.g., Inf, Order::Decrease)
  • regexes missing
  • is export on methods
    • should work outside the setting; note here if not

Things that aren't blockers but might be worth knowing about:

  • attribute := doesn't work in CORE.setting (works outside of setting, though) (initial digging suggets it's a BOOTSTRAPATTR issue, thus why we only see it in the setting)
  • 'has num $.attr' segfaults on access to .attr, because it uses the PMC form of get_attribute

Lexical Multi-Part names

For my X::Base { ... }, my Foo::Bar { ... } etc. The our-scoped ones work.

Magicals

Move creation of $! and $/ to be per-routine instead of per-block.

when statements

when needs to properly find use correct outer scope

Flesh out signatures and parameters

While much binding works again now, there's some stuff to "put back":

  • |$c
  • Sub-signatures

Fix up binding some more

Get ::= correcter, and a bit more stuff on := also.

Finish up parametric roles

Many things are working, some are not...

  • Generically typed variables (also for the ::T case in roles)
  • role R1[::T] does R2[T] { ... }
  • Multiple variants of a single role
  • Role subtype checking

Meta-operators

  • Hyper

Missing object model bits

  • Try to implement enumerations
  • Some support for augment
  • handles

Restore other setting bits

Bring back in everything that was ripped out. Probably many our things become my things.

Custom Operators

Get these working again.

Work towards nom being master

Get enough of the spectests passing for us to be ready to make nom into the master branch

Fix array/hash initialization

my @a; needs to initialize @a to be the Array type object (not an Array instance). Same for my %h and hashes.

Phasers

  • END in pre-compiled mainline case

BEGIN-time lexicals

Need to have support for assigning to outer variables at BEGIN time.
