Language Update

  • Expanded array patterns in pattern matching.

    • Support the vec type in the standard library.
    • Support for generic types [a, .., b].
    fn main {
  let xs = @vec.from_array([1, 2, 3])
  match xs {
    [1, .., 3] => { println("ok")}
    _ => println("not ok")
  }
  // Output: ok
}

IDE Update

  • Changed the printing output of the online IDE from the Output channel to the terminal. Fixed the issue where the printing output was occasionally truncated in Firefox browsers. ANSI escape sequences can be used in browser code, for example:

Toolchain Update

  • Added (experimental) test coverage tools. (*Windows is not supported at the moment)

    • Added -enable-coverage option to moon test for enabling coverage during runtime.
    • Added moon coverage command for reading and processing coverage data.
      • After testing, moon coverage report -f <format> can be used to output coverage data. Supported output formats include:
        • bisect (default output format of OCaml Bisect tool)
        • html (output result webpage)
        • coveralls (JSON format suitable for CodeCov and Coveralls tool upload)
        • summary (output summary in the terminal)
          More functionalities can be viewed through moon coverage report -h.
      • moon coverage clean command can be used to clean up previous coverage data output.

  • The build system has added the moon info command for generating public interface files of software packages. (*Windows is not supported at the moment)
    Example:

    $ moon new hello
$ cd hello
$ moon info
$ cat lib/lib.mbti
package username/hello/lib

// Values
fn hello() -> String

// Types and methods

// Traits

// Extension Methods

  • Fixed the issue where the annotation was misaligned caused by trailing commas in moonfmt.

  • Fixed the issue where file paths cannot contain spaces in moon.
