Just presented #morloc at #ismb #bosc! Argued for tearing everything down and rebuilding! I'll post the presentation YouTube video when it is available.

Releasing #morloc v0.60.0! This release introduces custom binary operator support. The root libraries have been rewritten to offer standard arithmetic, logical, and comparison binary operators. The composition operator (see image) is now defined in #morloc code, not hard wired.

Here is a template Morloc app. With a few more lines, we can pass in strongly-typed, polyglot Morloc libraries. I'll make a larger demo using an Elm-like architecture soon.

The #morloc paper is now available on @PeerJCompSci https://t.co/mPweGNpDvR. Huge thanks to the two reviewers and the PeerJ editors!

With morloc-manager v0.5.2 we can now define our own containerized #morloc environments.

Release #morloc v0.58.2! Now docstrings can specify how CLIs are generated. Arguments may be optional and have defaults. Records can be translated to groups of arguments.

Releasing #morloc version 0.57.1! There are 5 major new features: placeholder syntax, string interpolation, multi-line strings, and getter and setter patterns.

See below for examples of each feature:

Releasing #morloc v0.55.1! Many bug fixes and a whole new module system. Also, here's one test suite running in three languages:

Thanks all! As per discussion, I've updated the installer to ask permission before updating paths

Meetup tomorrow at 5pm ET (Aug 19)! I'll introduce the install manager, review the composable CLI tools and demo a FASTQ trimmer.

I'd also like to hear your thoughts on what #morloc would need for you to use it in your workplace.

See you on discord: https://t.co/PBu4CyrvZe

#morloc now has an install script that streamlines container installation, engine selection (podman or docker), morloc home setup, and executable generation. See the manual here (https://t.co/UNyr7F5TSW).

Here is the Morloc code for the above:

Composable command line interface tools with #morloc!

There's a mysterious "comment" node at the end that is definitely not supposed to be there ... guess there's more debugging to do 🪳

Almost got the #Morloc #Treesitter grammar working!

Just needs a little cleaning and testing.

Next PR to GitHub and then will finally have colors in my repo code. This also can be used in editors like #Zed and #Neovim.

[morloc @morlocproject]

#Morloc VS Code extension is alive!

Thanks to Jennifer Chang for helping with the setup!

[morloc @morlocproject]

I'm also working on a tree-sitter grammar for editor support (including Zed and neovim) and for GitHub highlighting.

🌟 Huge thanks to everyone who joined the first virtual #morloc #hackathon yesterday!

We spent the day beta-testing the Morloc language, smoothing out install issues and running our first programs together.

Morloc is now tested on Linux, MacOS, and Windows (via WSL)!
