Some random Paws resources

Paws resources.markdown

Random Paws resources: (some of these are wildly out of date, with regard to syntax, semantics, or both… so skim with a grain of salt)

• JavaScript interpreter, and primary resource: http://github.com/elliottcable/Paws.js
• ANSI C interpreter: http://github.com/elliottcable/Paws.o
• My personal programming goals for the next few years, including where I plan to take Paws: http://gist.github.com/260152
• A few random pieces of example Paws code, that were written during discussions in ##Paws:
  • http://gist.github.com/449113 (A long proposal on first-class forks and ghosts)
  • http://gist.github.com/447828 (An outline for a comprehensive Paws tutorial)
  • http://gist.github.com/441059 (Multimethods and Fullness’ manifold’s use, compared to the equivalent in Lisp)
  • http://gist.github.com/418738 (An example of the classic banking/concurrency problem in paws.)
  • http://gist.github.com/415458 (The first actual program written in Paws. Lots of good data.) most up-to-date major example!
  • http://gist.github.com/412666 (The diagonal lookup system plan)
  • http://gist.github.com/407052 (An example of why the sync abstraction is a ‘big deal’)
  • http://gist.github.com/385755 (Fairly up-to-date explanation of routine spin-off)
  • http://gist.github.com/309103 (Just a… bunch of stuff. Especially operator handing.)
  • http://gist.github.com/307385 (An early example of libside string interpolation)
  • http://gist.github.com/305304 (A discussion of operator dynamism)
  • http://gist.github.com/303502
  • http://gist.github.com/302430 (a walkthrough of the modern operator pre-compiler)
  • http://gist.github.com/301272 (a rewrite of a Node.js example)
  • http://gist.github.com/266886 (an attempt at a fib() routine)
  • http://gist.github.com/267292 (some hello, world stuff)
  • http://gist.github.com/272605 (closure, scope, routines-as-control-structures)
  • http://gist.github.com/265635 (various possible routine syntaxes)
  • http://gist.github.com/264034 (A more Orb-y lookup system example)
  • http://gist.github.com/264026 (A pile of syntax and semantics details)
  • http://gist.github.com/263789 (fib() implemented using two different syntaxes)
  • http://gist.github.com/263778 (Some more possible routine/meaningful-indentation stuff)
  • http://gist.github.com/262895 (Uh, what?)
• A quick conceptual rundown of how a basic assignment will happen, including a summary of scoping, lookups, and Unicode operators: http://gist.github.com/263000
