Thoughts on expanding the standard lib about fut HOT 3 CLOSED

Thank you for sharing your ideas! In addition to "Issues", there are also "Discussions". But let's continue this topic here.

I fully support this direction. I would definitely need help in implementing these. It's not the actual implementation that's most time consuming, but a design of the API in a way that can be transpiled to the target languages. Browsing through all the standard libraries (and external libraries in case of C/C++) takes time. What you already mentioned for JSON is probably already 20% of progress.

It is tempting to list all the missing features, but I'd suggest to start with one and see how it goes. Please pick one of the above that you're most familiar with, need most or think would be easiest. Then just list the classes, methods and translations (preferrably with documentation links) as a GitHub issue. Then write a Fusion test for it and I can help with the actual implementation.

Is there a way to just run specific tests, eg. if I write a new test for string.ToLower(), right now trying to run make test -j20 -k takes a long time and has a lot of errors for tests I'm not concerned with

Of course! For example, to run the Basic.fu test, use:

make -j20 test-Basic.fu

I have configured a key shortcut in my editor (SciTE) to run the test for the current file:

command.3.*=make -C PATH-TO-FUT-REPO -j7 test-$(FileNameExt)
