Tisp

Tisp is a "Time is Space" programming language. It aims to be simple, canonical, and practical.

This baby project is under heavy development. Any contributions would be appreciated. Join the Google group today!

Current status

See the issues. Tisp is actively developed and work in progress. Stay tuned!

You need Go 1.8+.

Purely functional programming
- Impure function calls in pure functions are detected and raise errors at runtime.
Implicit parallelism and concurrency
- Most of the time, you don't need to parallelize your code explicitly. Tisp does it all for you!
- Inherently, programs written in Tisp run concurrently and can run parallelly.
Optional injection of parallelism and causality
- You can also increase parallelism of your code or run functions sequentially using par or seq primitives. (par is not implemented yet.)
Asynchronous IO
- Every IO can be run asynchronously by the par primitive.
Dynamic typing

Try scripts in test directory (test/*.tisp) by running:

tisp test/$filename.tisp

Some examples in examples directory work but not all because some features are not implemented yet.

Please send pull requests, issues, questions or anything else. See also the documentation on how to develop Tisp.

The following is their list with ideas and technologies which come from them.

Haskell
- The concept of "Time is Space"
- Lazy evaluation and data structures to realize it
Clojure
- Everything is a value; no object system
- The syntax and macro system
OCaml
- The syntax close to pure lambda calculus and of mutual recursion
Python
- The Zen (See python -c 'import this'.)
- The syntax of function calls with positional and keyword arguments
Go
- Simplicity
- Tisp utilizes Go's coroutine runtime.
