ezr² development update (Feb 25, 2024)

Another development update for ezr²!

What I’ve Been Doing

I have successfully finished working on static definitions! But, I have some bad news about breaking changes.

Breaking changes.

Class definitions.

Yep, there is a new way to define classes now.

object something do
    ...
end

The above example may not look different to the existing way, but when you add parameters, you get:

object something_2 with b, c do
    constant function initialize do
        this.b: b
        this.c: c
    end
end

Yeah.

The function must be constant and, yes, it is now required if you have parameters for your classes.

Even with that, I am not sure the syntax will stick around. I plan to add something like this:

object something_3 do
    constant function initialize with b, c do
        this.b: b
        this.c: c
    end
end

Conclusion

Well, so that’s it for this ezr² update. It was a short one!
