Introduction

Introduction

Wrapl is a high level, dynamically typed interpreted programming language.

Features

• Object-oriented: Every value in Wrapl is an object with a type which is known at runtime. The types form a hierarchy with multiple inheritence.
• Multiple-dispatch: Method dispatch in Wrapl depend on the types and values of all of their arguments.
• Pass-by-reference: Wrapl allows variables to be passed by reference to other functions.
• Functional closures: Functions in Wrapl are first-class objects which may passed to other functions or stored in variables. Functions can both read and write variables declared in surrounding scopes.
• Goal-directed: Every expression in Wrapl can produce 0, 1, or more values. An expression which can produce more than 1 value may be resumed to produce its next value.

For some sample Wrapl code, check out the samples page.

Status

• The main module loader is fully functional.
• The Wrapl module has been implemented.
• A number of basic libraries have been written.
• An interactive interpreter exists for test Wrapl code.
• A Wrapl based preprocessor has been written in Wrapl and is used to generate this website.
• A linker has been written to generate Riva binary modules from object files.
