FLite# is a functional language representing a subset of the programming language F#. It includes the basic features of F#, such as arithmetic and boolean operations, lists, tuples, functions and lambda expression, but it also implements two peculiar F# features: units of measure and pattern matching. FLite# comes with a Java interpreter.
FLite# has been implemented as final project for the module CS4215 Programming Language Implementation, AY2021-22.
An already built jar executable is available here. Running this jar requires at least Java 17.0.2. To run the executable is sufficient to launch the following command from console:
java -jar FLiteSharp.jar myCode.fs
where myCode.fs is the name or the path to the file containing the FLite# source code to execute.
Examples of FLite# programs can be found here.
Alternatively, you can run FLite# code on this web playground. Have fun!
Building the project requires having installed both Java and Gradle Build Tool.
To build the project move to the root directory of the repository and run the command
gradle build
from console.
This will generate an executable FLiteSharp.jar in the directory /FLiteSharp/app/build/libs.
Follow the instructions in the run section to execute it.
The documentation about FLite# language can be found here and includes a user manual and a developer manual.
The technical documentation of the intepreter can be automatically generated from the source code using Gradle Build Tool. To
generate the documentation move to the root directory of the repository and launch the command gradle
javadoc from console.
To navigate the generated documentation access the file /FLiteSharp/app/build/docs/javadoc/index.html.
