Mochi

Mochi is a dynamically typed programming language for functional programming and actor-style programming.

Its interpreter is written in Python3. The interpreter translates a program written in Mochi to Python3's AST / bytecode.

Features

Python-like syntax
Tail recursion optimization (self tail recursion only), and no loop syntax
Re-assignments are not allowed in function definition.
Basic collection type is a persistent data structure. (using Pyrsistent)
Pattern matching / Data types, like algebraic data types
Pipeline operator
Syntax sugar of anonymous function definition
Actor, like the actor of Erlang (using Eventlet)
Macro, like the traditional macro of Lisp
Builtin functions includes functions exported by itertools module, recipes, functools module and operator module

Examples

Factorial

def factorial(n, m):
    if n == 1:
        m
    else:
        factorial(n - 1, n * m)


factorial(10000, 1)
# => 28462596809170545189064132121198688...

# Or

def factorial:
    n: factorial(n, 1)
    0, acc: acc
    n, acc: factorial(n - 1, acc * n)
    
factorial(10000)
# => 28462596809170545189064132121198688...

FizzBuzz

def fizzbuzz(n):
    match [n % 3, n % 5]:
        [0, 0]: "fizzbuzz"
        [0, _]: "fizz"
        [_, 0]: "buzz"
        _: n

range(1, 31)
|> map(fizzbuzz)
|> pvector()
|> print()

Actor

def show():
    receive:
        message:
            print(message)
            show()

actor = spawn(show)

send('foo', actor)
actor ! 'bar' # send('bar', actor)

sleep(1)
# -> foo
# -> bar


'foo' !> spawn(show)

sleep(1)
# -> foo

['foo', 'bar'] !&> spawn(show)
# The meaning of the above is the same as the meaning of the following.
# spawn(show) ! 'foo'
# spawn(show) ! 'bar'

sleep(1)
# -> foo
# -> bar

def show_loop():
    receive:
        [tag, value]:
            print(tag, value)
            show_loop()

actor2 = spawn(show_loop)

actor2 ! ["bar", 2000]
sleep(1)
# -> bar 2000

['foo', 1000] !> spawn(show_loop)
sleep(1)
# -> foo 1000

[['foo', 1000],['bar', 2000]] !&> spawn(show_loop)
sleep(1)
# -> foo 1000
# -> bar 2000

remote_actor = RemoteActor('tcp://localhost:9999/test')
remote_actor ! ['remote!', 3000]

hub = ActorHub('tcp://*:9999')
hub.register('test', actor2)
hub.run()

wait_all()
# -> remote! 3000

Flask

from flask import Flask

app = Flask('demo')

@app.route('/')
def hello():
    'Hello World!'

app.run()

RxPY

# usage: mochi -no-mp timer.mochi
# original:
# https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxPY/blob/master/examples/parallel/timer.py

import rx
import concurrent.futures
import time

seconds = [5, 1, 2, 4, 3]


def sleep(t):
    time.sleep(t)
    return t


def output(result):
    print('%d seconds' % result)


with concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor(5) as executor:
    rx.Observable.from_(seconds)
                 .flat_map((s) -> executor.submit(sleep, s))
                 .subscribe(output)

# 1 seconds
# 2 seconds
# 3 seconds
# 4 seconds
# 5 seconds

aif (Anaphoric macro)

macro aif(test, true_expr, false_expr):
    quasi_quote:
        it = unquote(test)
        if it:
            unquote(true_expr)
        else:
            unquote(false_expr)

aif([], first(it), "empty")
# => "empty"
aif([10, 20], first(it), "empty")
# => 10

Th error of the following may occur when you run Mochi on PyPy.

ImportError: Importing zmq.backend.cffi failed with version mismatch, 0.8.2 != 0.9.2

In this case, please change the version of cffi to 0.8.2 using pip on PyPy.

$ pip3 uninstall cffi
$ pip3 install cffi==0.8.2
