maiascript.js is a compiler that implements the MaiaScript programming language.
MaiaScript is a programming language aimed at developing adaptable and intelligent applications. An adaptive application modifies its code to suit the conditions of the environment. An intelligent application, it learns to process the data it receives and adjusts to possible changes in its characteristics, over time. The MaiaScript language implements the adaptation paradigm, combining it with a variation of the object-oriented paradigm, simplified to exclude definitions of types and access restrictions. These characteristics make MaiaScript a programming language suitable for rapid learning, both by Computer Science professionals and scientists who are starting to implement computational algorithms. The characteristics of this language, also allow the rapid development of complex applications, especially when adaptability is necessary. MaiaScript also presents a syntax similar to that used in Mathematics, including libraries for Numerical Calculation, Complex Network Analysis, Database Access, Regular Expression Processing, and an abstraction layer between the MaiaScript interpreter and the underlying Operating System.
The complete documentation, including the EBNF grammar file and the compiler's syntax diagrams (railroad diagrams) can be found in the grammar directory. For more information send mail to: mailto:[email protected]
MaiaStudio currently implements the following features:
- Syntax highlighting;
- Line number display;
- Auto-indentation;
- Automatic closing of structures;
- Indent and unindent method;
- Comment and uncomment method;
- Undo and redo;
- Search and replace text based on regular expressions;
- Support for any language supported by the Prism syntax highlighter;
- Lightweight and easily extensible editor;
- Simplified API, although powerful;
- GPU support;
- Free software.
In addition to being accessible via the API, some commands are available as shortcut keys:
- [CTRL] + i: indent;
- [SHIFT] + [CTRL] + i: unindent;
- [CTRL] + m: comment;
- [SHIFT] + [CTRL] + m: uncomment;
- [CTRL] + z: undo;
- [SHIFT] + [CTRL] + z: redo, or on macOS:
- [CMD] + i: indent;
- [SHIFT] + [CMD] + i: unindent;
- [CMD] + m: comment;
- [SHIFT] + [CMD] + m: uncomment;
- [CMD] + z: undo;
- [SHIFT] + [CMD] + z: redo.
You can get the last MaiaStudio version at http://www.maiascript.com
COMPUTER ALGEBRA SYSTEM (CAS):
MaiaScript uses the Algebrite CAS to solve complex expressions involving linear algebra, systems of equations and differential and integral calculus. For complete reference, see the Algebrite documentation at http://algebrite.org
To invoke CAS use the method:
cas.eval("expression")
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
To use the MaiaScript language in HTML documents, just include the
file "js/maiascript.js" in the document and insert the MaiaScript code
in <script> tags of type "text/maiascript":
<script type = "text/maiascript"> ... </script>
To compile and run the scripts configure the page's onload event to execute the "maiavm.compile()" method:
<body onload = "maiavm.compile();" ... </body>
To run MaiaScript code from the console, you need to install "Node.js" and the npm packages "jsdom" and "websql". To run a script use:
node js/maiascript.js "script name".maia
Or, if you installed the MaiaScript compiler using npm:
maiascript "script name".maia
INSTALL COMMAND LINE INTERFACE (CLI):
To install the MaiaScript compiler command line tool and MaiaStudio use the command:
npm install -g maiascript-cli
Or, get it from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/souzamonteiro/maiastudio.git
Or, download the latest zipped version:
unzip maiastudio-master.zip
cd maiastudio-master
npm install -g .
RUN TESTS:
To run the test scripts execute:
./test.sh
USING THE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE (CLI) AND MAIASTUDIO:
To run the command line tool, use the command:
maiascript [options] [script.maia] [--] [arguments]
To see the command line tool options run the command:
maiascript --help
To launch MaiaStudio open the file index.html, in the main directory of the package, in a browser.
To try MaiaStudio on-line go to http://www.maiastudio.com.br
