Hello

The source code of this language (https://github.com/theratioproject/simple/tree/master/simple/sources) and (https://github.com/theratioproject/simple/tree/master/simple/include) is based on the source code of the (Ring programming language)

URL: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1089887/The-Ring-Programming-Language
URL: http://ring-lang.net
URL: https://github.com/ring-lang/ring
URL: https://www.apress.com/gp/book/9781484258323

It's not right to remove the original author name and claim that this is your source code!

To fix this mistake

(1) Add the original author name to each source code file
(2) Write in the documentation that this language is based on the Ring programming language

We are contacting you first (before contacting github) to avoid reporting the project (And removing it from GitHub)

Greetings,

Simplepad is a GUI desktop enviroment built with simple. It is a text editor which might eventually become SIMPLE's code editor. It currently has dummy menu's which will be worked upon and the improvements will be documented in this issue.

Preview of Simplepad.

Features..

It currently houses a lot of functionalities which are yet to be functioning. It has normal file operations like:

• File
  • Open
  • Save
  • Save As
  • Close
  • Exit.
• Edit
  • Undo
  • Copy
  • Edit
• Search
  • Search
  • Replace.
• Program
  • Run i.e, to run the file: this is a feature that'll give live preview of what we're building.
  • Debug
  • Build executable.
• About - I recently added the about menu.

What's failing ?

Menu options do not work except for About.

Todo

Fix all issues listed above and make it function well.

Following initailization of a final variable to null the variable should be able to allow initialization once more to real value instead of throwing Cannot assign a value to the final variable error.
Example :

final variable = null
variable = true #throws an error, it should not

From the ROADMAP, I saw this :

add and use the keyword var to allow variable declaration

What's this all about ? .
Do you mean to declare variables in simple-lang after this is accomplished, it'll be:

var name = "simple-lang"

instead of the current version of variable declaration ?

name = "simple-lang"

Also,

The support for strict is really nice but what are the plans for this ? Are we moving to a strictly typed syntax following the introduction of #38 ? . What improvements will the strictness bring especially to error handling ?

Hi, I'm unable to add simple as a compiler to the global set. I mean to make it accessible in all corners. Any help ? I'm a Linux user...

In npm, we have something like...

npm link

The licence directory seems to be a duplicate of https://github.com/simple-lang/simple/blob/master/LICENSE

Is there a reason it exists @Thecarisma ?

Have issue installing and running Simple on my Ubuntu machine after downloading linx version form sourceforge.io, I try follow the command on the README but no says no file. So I try cloning and follow the README instruction, everything seems to work but if I type simple in the terminal it says command not found. Pls need help on proper installation. Thanks

I think it will be great if a gitter channel or IRC is created for SimpleLang to help in facilitating communication.

I would really love to contribute, but I'm not fully updated on the roadmap of simple.

I've fixed the issues with calling modules and I'll write a new documentation soon but .dll files cannot be run in Linux. How do we solve those issues as dynamic modules depend on those files ?

Description - A brief one.

Error fromfulltick dynamic module during build

Here's a snapshot of the error.

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

Smooth installation but instead there's an error from the png_write function and/or stream.

Steps to reproduce the problem.

Perhaps adding a ld flag or installing additional libary

Specifications - version of the project, operating system, or hardware.

• Version - 0.3.36
• OS- Fedora 28

PR Supporting Fix

None yet.

Attach the PR link if any.

The fulltick dynamic module for simple-lang is a port of the fltk C++ gui library. To build the dynmic module it has to be compiled against the simple.so and the fltk shared library

Description - A brief one.

Linux Build fails due to the absence of console-color.

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

Build is supposed to go smoothly instead it went bad.

Steps to reproduce the problem.

Fix the Makefile to build without the console-color or add the console-color file back else wait for #29

Specifications - version of the project, operating system, or hardware.

s0.3.36, Debian Linux 32-bit.

This PR - #29 fixes it I think.

Description - A brief one.

While trying to build on Ubuntu it fails due to double slash added to directories path

RosettaCode is a repository where codes implementing tasks in different languages are stored. Simple has no presence there yet. So I think we should fix that.

I already created a SimpleLang category since Simple isn't available as category. Nothing is there yet.
Anyone can signup to the site and contribute to it.

An example of a tool that uses codes on rosetta is http://rosetta.alhur.es/. It allows you to compare codes in different languages. An example of this is http://rosetta.alhur.es/compare/python/java

This will allow programmers from other languages get a feel of what idiomatic Simple code looks like compared to a language they are used to.

More information on how to add a language to RosettaCode http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code:Add_a_Language

For the past months, the contributors here have only worked on simple to be a repl language and to be able to work on basic modules like the File system, interact with the OS and GUI but the big thing is amiss.

Support for WEB

Ideally, we should have this implemented already into simple, we basically have a simple module which depends on other existing technology ( CGI ). Perhaps it's high time we implement the web server modules into simple so we can have frameworks, routers etc

Also, it'd be nice if we r pay more attention to the web server ish*. We've paid too much attention to the consoler already - simple-lang wasn't built for the console I bet, let's work this out and start building web apps with simple-lang .

null in simple is currently an empty string '' which can be confusing when comparing with an actual empty string . e.g

variable = null

is same as

variable = ""

This appear to be very bad as some implementation requires to differentiate between null and and empty string such as the Console module.
Also null variable should have a string value of (null) for output readability

This link which is on the README.md links to a GitHub 404 page. The correct link should be this. Can we have this corrected ?

Well, we want to build simple as a very intelligent and smart programming language so we have to include a lot of environmental functions etc. Judging by the last issues, you can see we're working hard.

So what's modular ?

Modular is a command line simple app that updates simple itself and it modules, it will also be used to get new modules or fetch upgrades from the repos. Just like we have apt-get in Linux, npm update etc. That sounds cool ? Yeah

ToDo

1. Upgrade simple version without having to download from website. ( Currently under test ).
2. Grab modules from the repository
3. Update modules.
4. Install new environment / desktop apps and update them.
5. Publish your module into the repo.
   That sounds cool. On this issues, you're welcomed as a contributor. This is currently handled by @Thecarisma and I.

Updates will be published in this issue

Description

I successfully built simple for Mac, but it's refusing to compile the example *.sim code.

Expected behavior

I expect that simple ../examples/algorithms/degreeToRadian.sim would actually run the degreeToRadian.sim file.

Actual behavior

It does not

Trying to compile this example: https://github.com/simple-lang/simple/blob/master/examples/gui/old-obsolete/buttonsdemo.sim

Outputs:
simple0.3.36-windows64/modules/dynamic_modules/fulltick.dll
Line 23 -> RUNTIME ERROR 24 : Runtime Error Occur while loading the dynamic library!
at callModule() in file DynamicLoader.sim
at line 16 in file gui.sim

I'm using the release version of simple found here.

Description

After the implementation of variable declaration using the var keyword, calling a function recursively destroy the variables used within a loop. All referenced global variables in the loop is garbage collected and all local variables are destroyed too after the function has complete execution.

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

Function call should be successful when called recursively within it body and only temporary variable should be destroyed. Even when variables are destroyed it should recreate on another call

Steps to reproduce the problem.

Onene()

block Onene()
	var Onet = [1,2,3,4]
	var on
	for on in Onet
		display "Done with : " + on + nl
		
	end
	Onene()

Well, if you've been following this repo, you'll find out we've been improving SIMPLE day by day.

In this project, we'll build/improve the existing debugging module because the current code displays the given code and doesn't debug in anyways.

Current code:

module simple.debugging
 
block throw(value)
	display value 
	__exit__

The future module will focus on tracking bugs in large scale apps without having to hard-find them.

I'll be working on building data type modules such as List.sim and Number.sim.

Reason.

Modules will enable us carry out basic operations in data type.

Example

A list will be able to add, delete, reverse once the module is built.

list = ["a", "b", test] 

display list +crlf
// Displays *a, b and test*
list.push("a")
// Undefined

Result from this ?

Well, we'll have methods that arrays ( as in JavaScript ) or Lists ( as in Python ).

example :

.push()
.pop()
.reverse()
And so many more.

Currently the display magic function doesn't print a newline after its arguments, which leads to the need to sprinkle crlf variable about in the code. As a result, the following code prints shows its results as Hello worldHello simple.

display "Hello world"
display "Hello simple"

Alsocrlf, which I believe signifies carriage return + linefeed, is platform-specific.

It would be nicer if display adds a newline to the end its arguments automatically. And if one wants a display function without newline, a new function, say print or echo can be used.

But given that there are a lot of codes with display already, an alternative solution would be to create a new function that adds newline.

Could someone help write a Visual Studio code extension for simple code linting and completion here ?. Writing SIMPLE in vscode looks like writing plain text. Someone could volunteer 🎉 .

This is a rustup-like or choosenim-like installation process where the user doesn't need to have simple already installed on their system. Just a single command that does all the installation and/or update automatically.

The user just types a command into the terminal and simple gets installed or updated automatically. A seamless nice user experience.

The command is usually in this format.

curl https://sh.some-domain.com/install -sSf | sh

This means the shell script that gets run will be hosted on that site and the script will be responsible for downloading and installing simple on the user's system.

The first step here is to host an installer script online.
