JCaml

Introduction

Welcome to the world of JCaml. Do you like to hump? Do you like to spit? JCaml has all these functions for you. To give you all the features of OCaml with the simplicity and ubiquity of JavaScript, JCaml has it all. This is our statically-typed, statically-scoped, superb language that cannot be beat. ##Features

This language has everything. It has pattern-matching, dictionary capabilities, list comprehension, recursive functions, higher-order functions, currying, and tuples. If you want it, it has it.

Examples

Hello World

JCaml	JavaScript
`spit("Hello, World");;`	`console.log("Hello World");`

Fibonacci Numbers

JCaml

let fun fib = (a) => int :
    if a == 0 or a == 1
        hump 1
    else
        hump fib(a-1) + fib(1-2)
;;

JavaScript

let fib = (a) => {
    if (a == 0 || a == 1) {
        return 1;
    } else {
        return fib(a - 1) + fib(a - 2);
    }
};

Fibonacci Numbers Memoized

JCaml

let fibDict = []
let fun fibMem = (a) => int :
    if a == 0 or a == 1
        hump 1
    else if a in fibDict
        hump fibDict[a]
    else
        fibDict[a] = fibMem(a-1) + fibMem(a-2)
        hump fibDict[a]
;;

JavaScript

let dictionary = {};
let fibMem = (a) => {
    if(a == 0 || a == 1) {
        return 1;
    } else if(a in dictionary) {
        return dictionary[a];
    } else {
        dictionary[a] = fibMem(a - 1) + fibMem(a - 2);
        return dictionary[a];
    }
};

Currying and Higher Order Functions

JCaml

let fun add = (a, b) => int :
    hump a + b;
;;
let fun add2 = add(2);;

Javascript

let add = (a) => {
    return (b) => {
        return a + b;
    };
};

let add2 = add(2);

Match Statement

JCaml

let fun count_occurences = (v, l) => int :
    match l with
    | [] -> 0
    | hd::[] ->  hump hd == v ? 1 : 0
    | hd::tl ->  hump hd == v ? 1 + count_occurences(v, tl) : count_occurences(v, tl)
;;

Javascript

let count_occurences = (v, l) => {
    let sum = 0;
    for (let value of l) {
      if(v === value) {
          sum++;
      }
    }
    return sum;
};
