# ArchScript

A programming language designed on top of Arch Linux: Python-like syntax, Haskell-inspired functional features, and first-class integration with the Arch ecosystem.

## Features

- **Python-like syntax** with clean, readable code
- **Haskell-inspired** pattern matching, algebraic data types, traits
- **First-class Arch Linux integration** — built-in `pacman`, `systemd`, `aur`, and `fs` modules
- **First-class functions** and closures with lambda expressions
- **Pipe operator** (`|>`) for function composition
- **Built-in types**: integers, floats, strings, booleans, lists, dicts, tuples
- **Type definitions** (`type`, `data`, `trait`, `instance`)
- **List comprehensions** and higher-order functions (`map`, `filter`)
- **Recursive functions** with proper closure support
- **Interactive REPL** with persistent state, multiline support, and introspection commands
- **CLI** for running scripts, parsing, and evaluating expressions

## Building

```bash
cargo build
```

## Usage

```bash
# Run a source file
archscript run examples/hello.as

# Run the Arch Linux stdlib demo
archscript run examples/archlinux.as

# Evaluate an expression
archscript eval "2 + 3 * 4"

# Start an interactive REPL session
archscript repl

# Parse and print AST (debugging)
archscript parse examples/hello.as
```

## Language Overview

### Variables

```
var x = 42
var name = "ArchScript"
var pi = 3.14159
```

### Functions

```
def add(a, b) = a + b

def factorial(n) = if n <= 1: 1
    else: n * factorial(n - 1)
```

### Lambda Expressions

```
var double = lambda x: x * 2
```

### Control Flow

```
if x > 0: println("positive")
    elif x == 0: println("zero")
    else: println("negative")

for i in range(10): println(str(i))

while x > 0: x = x - 1
```

### Pattern Matching

```
match value {
    0 => println("zero"),
    1 => println("one"),
    x if x > 0 => println("positive"),
    _ => println("other")
}
```

### Data Types

```
data Color = Red | Green | Blue | Custom(r, g, b)
type Point = Tuple(Float, Float)
```

### Pipe Operator

```
result = data |> transform |> filter_fn |> summarize
```

### Imports

```
import math
import { sqrt, pi } from math
import math as m
```

### Interactive REPL

Start an interactive session with `archscript repl`:

```
$ archscript repl
ArchScript 0.1.0 REPL
Type :help for help, :quit to exit.
>>> var x = 42
>>> x * 2
84
>>> def greet(name) = "Hello, " + name + "!"
>>> greet("Arch")
Hello, Arch!
>>> :env
  greet = <function greet>
  x = 42
>>> :quit
```

REPL commands: `:help`, `:quit`, `:env` (show variables), `:reset` (clear state), `:ast <expr>` (show AST).

### Arch Linux Standard Library

ArchScript ships with built-in modules for Arch Linux system management. See [docs/stdlib.md](docs/stdlib.md) for the full reference.

```
// Package management
var result = pacman.install("vim")
println(result.command)     // "sudo pacman -S --noconfirm vim"
println(result.success)     // True or False

// Service management
systemd.enable("sshd")
systemd.start("sshd")
var status = systemd.status("nginx")

// AUR packages
aur.install("visual-studio-code-bin")
aur.search("spotify")

// File system
fs.write("/tmp/hello.txt", "Hello from ArchScript!")
var content = fs.read("/tmp/hello.txt")
var exists = fs.exists("/etc/pacman.conf")
var files = fs.ls("/etc")
fs.mkdir("/tmp/mydir")
fs.remove("/tmp/hello.txt")
```

**Modules available:**

| Module | Description | Functions |
|--------|-------------|-----------|
| `pacman` | Package management | `install`, `remove`, `update`, `search`, `list`, `info` |
| `systemd` | Service management | `start`, `stop`, `restart`, `enable`, `disable`, `status` |
| `aur` | AUR helper (yay) | `install`, `search`, `update`, `info` |
| `fs` | File system I/O | `read`, `write`, `exists`, `ls`, `mkdir`, `remove` |
