Dictionaries should be created using Map or {} decided on runtime which is supported.

• create inline

let dict_1 = {}
let dict_2 = {
  "ten" => 10,
  "twenty" => 20
}

• Dictionary access

// access Adapter
function access(object, arg, ...rest) {
    let first;
    if (object instanceof Map) {
        first = object.get(arg);
    } else {
        first = object[arg];
    }
    return access(firt, ...rest);
}

mapping:

• location.href.baz ==> access(location, 'href', 'baz')
• location.replace("about:blank") => access(location, 'repalce')('about:blank').

• settter

• location.href = "about:blank" ==> location.href = "about:blank"
• foo.bar.baz = 10 => set(foo, 'bar', 'baz', 10).

function set(object, ...rest) {
    let result = object;
    while (rest.length > 2) {
        const prop = rest.shift();
        if (object instanceof Map) {
            object = object.get(prop);
        } else {
            object = object[prop]
        }
    }
    const prop = rest.shift();
    const value = rest.shift();
    if (object instanceof Map) {
        object.set(prop, value);
    } else {
        object[prop] = value;
    }
}

• Dict as dict key

let x = {
  "foo" => 10
}
let y = {
  "bar" => 20
}
let z = {}
z[x] = "hello"
z[y] = "world"
z[x] + ", " + z[y]
# hello, world

• Add key,value for loop

for key, value in {"hello" => 10, "world" => 20} do
   echo "$key => $value"
end

Allow forking the code like on CodePen.

There will be no standard for C loop. So to interate over numbers there is need to have range function from Python.

echo "${await gaiman.ask('? ')}"

This is valid and it's interpreted by gaiman, and it's executed. This is potential XSS.

Reported upstream estools/escodegen#448

You should be able to check if something is

• object
• array
• string
• number
• null
• boolean
• undefined

Best if it's command type that return type but it's not typeof that is not infinitive.

There should be some kind of guard jus for playground, that will stop long running loops.

Just made mistake and wrote:

let x = 10
while x > 0 do
  echo "NUM: $x"
  x = x + 1 # there should be minus here
end

and it frozen the browser.

Allow playing sound and music.

• Came up with syntax.
• Support for looping (music)
• Allow to run in background and async

It would be nice to have a code editor on one side and a game on the other.

• Editor
• Service worker
• Favicon
• A way to see generated JS code
• reset button
• ZIP download
• Error messages

function calls should return Thunk that should be resolved with the trampoline so you will be able to create real infinite loops. This is important for cases like inn demo:

def ask_color()
    echo "Pick color?"
    let color = ask "color? "
    if color ~= /red/i then
      echo "I like red, it remiding me of sun at sunset"
    else if color ~= /blue/i then
      echo "I like blue, it remind me of sky"
    else if color ~= /black/i then
      echo "I like black it remind me of the darkest night"
    else
      echo "sorry I only know red, blue and black colors"
    end
    echo "Do you want to check another color?"
    let confirm = ask "yes/no? "
    if confirm ~= /yes/i then
      ask_color() # here recursive call should be returned in a thunk
    else
      echo "Ok, have a nice day"
    end
end

jQuery detect mime type of the response and return XML root element, Object or string. THe function do the right thing. It will simplify things, if get and post just return Object if the response is JSON.

Doesn't work:

input "hello"

part of "in" keyword

def define()
end

define part of def keyword

Whole keyword check need to be refactored. Probably using assertion to test if the final name is a keyword.

Add support for:

for item in iterator do
   echo* item
end

Parse string from ask into array of arguments. Possible parse and parse*.

Allow to use floating point numbers in code.

There should be a way to run exec and play the game without interaction.
Either as animation or as unit tests.

• Add way to write unit tests for game, test input and output
• Add way to animate the game as a demo to show how to play

There should be a way to call:

let factorial = eval(<<<CODE
(function(n) {
   return Array.from({length: n}, (_, i) => i + 1).reduce((a,b) => a * b, 1);
})
CODE)

this works:

let code = <<<CODE
(function(n) {
   return Array.from({length: n}, (_, i) => i + 1).reduce((a,b) => a * b, 1);
})
CODE

let factorial = eval(code)

There should be easy way to translate the output game. Maybe add gettext support.

It may require adding modules.

import "i18n"
import "gettext"

and use:

echo _("Welcome to Gaiman game")

Add more examples to the playground.

• List of examples <dropdown>
• Start with Hello World example
• Matrix animations
  • Follow white rabbit
  • Nmap hackig sesssion
• map
• filter
• reduce
• JSON-RPC
• Figlet
• ASCII Canvas: https://codepen.io/jcubic/pen/QWqJYJL?editors=0010
• Open-RPC + completion

Add to Wiki or Readme.

• Create Reference Manual
• Create Tutorial or Getting Started guide

There should be CSS/Gaiman combo on the GitHub pages and it should load the code from URL.

https://gaiman.js.org/?css=matrix.css&gaiman=hello.gs

css files should be in examples/css and should load the files. URL should take precedence over IndexedDB.

Splat should be compiled to rest operator

def sum(*args)
   let result = 0
   for i in args
       result += i
   end
   return result
end

Using current syntax. It should be able to use array.map in the future.

• some()
• sort()
• flatMap()
• find()
• every()
• forEach()

After updating Array::map and Array::filter there is need to make reduce work with async functions.

This doesn't work:

echo "<white>" + (ask "? ") + "</white>"

it should parse command inside parentheses as part of expression.

The same

echo* (get "https://jcubic.pl/file.txt"), 100

This may be the same kind of expression

The output HTML should use ES Modules with code as-is and files compiled to ES5 for old browsers.

The goal is to make the game work in IE11. Not many people use it, but some other browsers may not support all the features, like old smartphones. There will be not that much work to support IE11, since jQuery Terminal works in IE11.

• Compile output JS to ES5 with Babel
• Use <script type="module" in html

Travis need to go.

Create dist directory with a file that can be used in the browser (for the playground).

Those will be special case of get and post that will get output as text even if the response is JSON or XML.

• initialization
• array methods as is
• Array indexing

Add syntax:

let list = {
   hello => lambda()
     echo "HELLO FROM LAMBDA"
   end
}
list["hello"]()

This is important if "hello" is variable:

let cmd = ask "? "
if type list[cmd] == "function" then
   list[cmd]()
end

Add a way to set completion. Came up with a nice API.

Maybe:

completion ["foo", "bar", "baz"]

let commands = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]

completion lambda(string)
   return commands
end

The js code can add terminal to #term and there can be different themes that user can pick.
Vintage, Forest, Dracula, etc.
There also should be a way to pick window version. There can be modules that will be combined into one CSS and HTML.

Use code from P5.

Add way to customize output html with custom CSS.
Allow to add:

:root {
  --color: black;
  --background: white;
}

Consider adding tab with custom style, with default colors, that User can change. Similar to config files on Linux.

Based on code from P5, but in JavaScript.

Create an interesting example that will showcase the library.

It should:

• Be relatively short.
• Has some logic, maybe mini-game.
• Have Glow style.
• Have colors.
• Have Typing animation.

• Create Jekyll Eleventy blog
• Write Quick Intro to the language and its history
• Use storytelling for first blog entry

For better SEO there should be h1 that that's always visible. Gaiman Logo with alt text.
Maybe move config section into navbar.

I would be easier to refresh the iframe and rerun the terminal. Right now you need to update something in the code (e.g. add and remove space).

After #18 and #26 are done. There should be documentation link that will open "in page browser", like at JavaScript REPL with Wiki page.

The command will modify existing line by index.

Include XML formatting and add video-tag support.

• allow autoplay on/off

• add do as opening token
• add break and continue keywords
• add store keyword

Make a better homepage that will show the features of the language that showcase examples (saved in Firebase).
