common runtime environment for distributed programming languages

I am a software engineer focusing on language design and distributed systems. My goal is to support open-source and free software projects. To learn more, take a look at Cuneiform, a distributed functional programming language, or gen_pnet, an Erlang library to implement Petri nets.

Professionally, I program C, C++, Java, and Python. For my own projects, I prefer Erlang, Common Lisp, or Racket.

cre's Issues

No external processes survive failure

Import of script files

Milestone Release 2.5

Planned release date: Dec 2015

Content:

• No external processes survive a failure
• Importing of script files
• Altering function body should invalidate the cache

Unit tests

Somehow unit testing should be provided (e.g.: whether the deftasks work).

If scripts can be imported (see other issue), scripts can be written such that they contain only one deftask and some known input data.

This means what is missing is

1. the ability to compare expected and produced output
2. a way to bulge start multiple of such tests (e.g.: all cuneiform test files .cft?? in a directory).
3. a way to visualize the ones that failed.

cfide needs to accept commandline args

It is a bit annoying to start cfide and then search for the cf file using the interface which starts not from the local directory but from some root.

I suggest that 1..n files can be provided as arguments.
e.g.: cfide consensus.cf test.cf

Overwrite variable assignments from the command line

Ctrl-Z

Currying

Paramter name (out/in) must not appear more than once in signature

Altering function body should invalidate the cache
