Disciple is an explicitly lazy dialect of the functional programming language Haskell.
Disciple vs Haskell
- Strict EvaluationOrder is the default, laziness is introduced explicitly.
- All data objects support DestructiveUpdate, without the need for Ref types.
- Type directed FieldProjections complement type classing.
- Supports a try-catch ExceptionMechanism.
- The TypeSystem ensures that SideEffects and DestructiveUpdate play nicely with laziness.
Some example code, and it's output.
The Disciplined Disciple Compiler (DDC)
- Uses a typed core language which includes effect, closure, region and mutability information. (example)
- This extended type information is used to allow code-transformation style optimizations in the presence of side effects and mutable objects.
- Produces standard C99, so is highly portable.
- Is in a usable alpha state.
