The main features of Sidef include:
object-oriented programming
functional programming
functional pattern matching
optional lazy evaluation
multiple dispatch
lexical scoping
lexical closures
keyword arguments
regular expressions
support for using Perl modules
optional dynamic type checking
big integers, rationals, floats and complex numbers
use Sidef; my $sidef = Sidef->new( name => 'test', # name of the program opt => {}, # command-line options parser_opt => {}, # parser options ); # Sidef code my $code = 'say "1 + 2 = #{1 + 2}"'; # Execute the code $sidef->execute_code($code); # Compile the code to Perl my $perl = $sidef->compile_code($code, 'Perl'); # Parse the Sidef code into an AST my $ast = $sidef->parse_code($code); # Optimize the AST by performing constant-folding my $oast = $sidef->optimize_ast($ast); # Compile the AST back into Sidef code print $sidef->compile_ast($oast, 'Sidef');
my $s = Sidef->new(name => '...');
Creates a new Sidef object and returns it.
my $ast = $s->parse_code($code);
Parses a given Sidef code and returns the AST.
my $oast = $s->optimize_ast($ast);
Performs constant-folding and some other optimizations on a given AST.
Returns a new optimized AST.
my $ccode = $s->compile_ast($ast, $backend);
Compiles the AST into code and returns it.
Valid values for the backend are: 'Sidef', 'Perl'.
'Sidef'
'Perl'
my $ccode = $s->compile_code($code, $backend)
Parses and compiles the given Sidef code into target code and returns it.
my $result = $s->execute_code($code);
Parses, compiles and executes a given Sidef code and returns the result of the last statement.
Sidef->version
Returns the version of Sidef as a String object.
Sidef->numeric_version
Returns the version of Sidef as a Number object.
