Lib.rs

An expert in expressions!

⚠ Work in progress ⚠

Design Goals

• plays well with async environments
• fast with the default configuration
• highly tunable for different use-cases
• supports wirefilter syntax which itself is based on wireshark filter syntax.
• execute other expressions when doing async work
• easily embeddable in other languages (current target: go, PHP, typescript, python)
• everything is idempotent and side-effect free by default
• if a user writes an unoptimized code, compile and optimize it to the optimized version. if the compiler knows a code is not optimized, it should just compile it to the optimized version instead of showing a message to user.
• all values are inferred. no dynamic functions or values

Maybe?

• PGO or JIT
• string interning?
• directly compile to wasm format (instead of using our own vm)
• usable as library and cli (something like awk?)
