Two small clarity moves from the review:
- dynamic-vars.ss -> dynamic-var-defaults.ss. It holds the default VALUES of a few
core dynamic vars (*clojure-version*, *assert*, …); the near-identical dyn-binding.ss
holds the binding-stack machinery. The names were easy to confuse.
- Pull the ~60-line %-format engine out of the natives-misc.ss grab-bag into
natives-format.ss (its ->long/pad-left/fmt-float helpers were local to it).
rt.ss loads + MODULES.md updated. Runtime .ss, no re-mint; make test green, format +
the dynamic vars verified.
natives-parity.ss was a grab-bag (its own header called it 'parity'). Dissolve it
into homes that say what they hold:
- cat -> natives-transduce.ss (was natives-xform.ss, renamed for the
whole transducer surface: volatiles + cat + transduce/sequence)
- transient? -> transients.ss
- rseq -> natives-seq.ss
- hash family -> natives-misc.ss (the public hash API over jolt-hash)
The remainder — the #?() feature set, the reader-conditional + re-matcher tagged-map
ctors, and macroexpand — is a coherent reader/macro runtime-support unit, kept as
natives-reader.ss (np- prefix -> nr-). rt.ss loads + two comment refs updated.
Runtime .ss, no re-mint. make test green; hash/transient?/rseq/cat/macroexpand and
#?() reader features all verified.
The trio split on a fine axis (registry core / statics / object classes) but the
names didn't say so — 'static-statics'/'static-objects' and headers that read
'Continues X'. Rename:
host-static-statics.ss -> host-static-methods.ss (Class/member statics + fields)
host-static-objects.ss -> host-static-classes.ss (instantiable object classes)
host-static.ss stays the registry core. Headers rewritten to state each file's role
and what it covers instead of chaining. rt.ss loads + the one comment reference +
MODULES.md updated. No code moved; runtime .ss, make test green.
The printer's two entry points (jolt-pr-str in rt.ss, jolt-pr-readable in printing.ss)
get register-pr-str-arm! / register-pr-readable-arm!, plus register-pr-arm! for the
types whose str and readable forms match (bigdec/inst/uuid/tagged/record/ns/var). The
normalize arms (sorted, lazy-seq, queue) and the uri readable arm register per-printer.
Also folds in the hash (dyn-binding var-cell), class (io uri/uuid/file), and get
(transients) arms missed earlier.
natives-array's get stays a case-lambda wrapper on purpose: its 2-arg path errors on
an out-of-bounds index while the 3-arg path returns the default, an arity distinction
the (coll k d) registry collapses — left as-is to preserve behaviour.
Completes jolt-lmot: all six dispatchers (hash/class/get/=/pr-str/pr-readable) off the
set!-rebind chains. make test green, 0 new corpus divergences; pr-str/str of inst,
uuid, bigdec, sorted-map, record-with-lazyseq, queue all verified.
A ^double/^long param hint (or a float literal) now drives Chez flonum/fixnum
ops instead of generic arithmetic — JVM-style primitive hints, available in every
build and at -e (not gated on direct-linking or whole-program inference).
New pass jolt.passes.numeric: a local forward type-flow seeded from ^double/^long
fn-param hints (analyzer attaches :nhints per arity) and float literals,
propagated through let inits / arithmetic / if / do. It tags an arithmetic invoke
:num-kind :double|:long when every operand is that kind (an integer literal is a
wildcard, coerced to a flonum in a double op). The back end lowers a tagged node
to fl+/fl-/fl*/fl//fl<?/... or fx+/fx*/fx1+/fxquotient/... (unchecked-add etc.
join the fixnum path; == too). Runs last in run-passes, both branches.
Soundness: :long is seeded ONLY from an explicit ^long hint, never a bare integer
literal, so un-hinted integer code keeps jolt's arbitrary-precision numbers — no
fixnum-overflow surprise, no corpus divergence. :double comes from ^double hints
and float literals (flonum arithmetic is always flonum, matching the generic
result). A ^long hint is a promise the value is a fixnum: fx+ raises on overflow,
like a JVM fixed-width long.
Numeric-hinted params coerce at fn entry (exact->inexact / jolt->fx), the way the
JVM coerces a primitive parameter — so the body's fl*/fx* ops can rely on the
type even when a caller passes an exact int (e.g. Chez's (* 0 1.0) => exact 0).
Round 1 specializes hinted straight-line / fn-body arithmetic. fl-ops are ~4x
generic in a tight Chez loop, but realizing that on loop-carried accumulators
needs loop-var typing — round 2. Sound foundation, gated by test/chez/numeric-test.ss.
records.ss mixed the record/protocol/reify model with JVM exception emulation.
Move the contiguous ex-info accessors, the exception supertype hierarchy,
instance-check, case-string, and the instance-check def-var into records-interop.ss,
loaded right after records.ss. Those are only called at runtime, so the relocated
forms resolve fine; records.ss is now the value model and protocol dispatch.
Runtime shim — no seed change.
The 929-line interop registry split three ways: host-static.ss keeps the
registries, the jhost record, the emit entry points and coercion helpers;
host-static-statics.ss holds the java.lang/util static-method registrations;
host-static-objects.ss holds the host object classes (ArrayList, HashMap, the
reader/writer/tokenizer shims, ctors, URL codecs) and the instance? hook. rt.ss
loads the three in order. Runtime shim — no seed change.
Rename src/jolt -> stdlib (the runtime-loaded layer; jolt-core stays the
seed-baked layer) and update the loader / emit-image / doc paths. Drop dead
code: the spike/ experiments, the duplicate clojuredocs-export.edn (json moves
to tools/), the Janet-era jolt.http binding, and the orphaned
persistent_vector.clj whose ns/path didn't even match.
Strip porting residue from comments and docstrings across host/chez, jolt-core,
stdlib, tests, and docs: internal issue ids, "Phase N" markers, and the "vs
Janet" historical exposition, leaving present-tense descriptions and the real
JVM-Clojure semantic contrasts. Same pass over the corpus suite labels. The seed
is unchanged (docstrings/comments aren't emitted), so the self-host fixpoint and
corpus are untouched.
Port tools/spec_coverage.py off the dead janet probe to bin/joltc and regenerate
coverage.md; drop the dead :host/janet rule from certify.clj and regenerate the
conformance profile. Add docs/host-interop.md (the JVM shims and how to register
your own host class from a library) and a writing-style note in CLAUDE.md.
Stabilize the four racy concurrency corpus cases (future-cancel and agent
send/send-off): give the future a sleeping body and the agent a slow action, so
cancel reliably catches an in-flight future and deref reliably reads the
pre-update snapshot. They certify deterministically now, so drop their :flaky
allowlist entries and the orphaned legend.
Shake-out from the conformance-library sweep. Host-side fixes (runtime .ss,
no re-mint) plus one analyzer change (re-minted):
- Exception fidelity: ex-info and host-constructed throwables (RuntimeException.
etc.) now carry their JVM class, so (class e), instance? across the exception
hierarchy, .getMessage, and clojure.test thrown?/thrown-with-msg? all work.
- .getBytes returns a seqable/countable byte-array and honors UTF-16/UTF-32;
String. decodes them. ->bytevector accepts byte-arrays (Base64).
- Universal .getClass / .toString / .indexOf / .lastIndexOf on any value/seq.
- record? uses the host jrec? predicate (the old (get x :jolt/deftype) crashed
on a sorted-map by invoking its comparator).
- extend-protocol to abstract host types (clojure.lang.Fn/IFn/APersistentVector,
java.net.URI) dispatches.
- New host classes: clojure.lang.PersistentQueue, java.util.ArrayList,
java.net.URI, java.io.File / java.util.UUID ctors, Double/Float ctors+statics,
regex instance? Pattern, System/setProperty.
- *assert* / *print-readably* are real settable/bindable vars.
- (symbol "ns/name") splits the namespace at the last slash.
- letfn fn params desugar destructuring (analyzer; re-minted).
unit.edn gains exinfo/hostobj/queue/hostctor/destructure regression rows.
bigdec / 1.5M / 0.0M silently produced doubles. Add a jbigdec value type
{unscaled, scale} over Chez exact integers (host/chez/bigdec.ss): value =
unscaled * 10^-scale. An M-suffix literal reads to a :bigdec form that the back
end lowers to jolt-bigdec-from-string (same IR-leaf path as #inst/#uuid); bigdec
coerces a number/string. Equality is by value (1.0M = 1.00M true, 3M = 3 false),
str drops the M and pr keeps it, class is java.math.BigDecimal, decimal? is true.
Arithmetic contagion isn't modelled (out of scope). The old corpus cases passed
spuriously as doubles; they now exercise a genuine BigDecimal.
Allowlist review found three addressable divergences:
- unchecked-char returned a number; the JVM returns a char.
- the readable printer (pr-str, coll elements, the -e/REPL printer) rendered
infinities as Infinity/inf; Clojure's readable form is ##Inf/##-Inf/##NaN
(str/print still gives Infinity). So (pr-str ##Inf) => ##Inf, (str [##Inf]) =>
[##Inf], (str ##Inf) => Infinity.
Corpus 2695->2698; allowlist 43->40 (drop the 3 now-passing entries). Re-minted.
Rephrase comments that pointed at deleted Janet files (emit.janet, the seed
sources, 'the Janet back end punts ...') to present-tense descriptions of the
Chez behavior. Comment/docstring-only; the self-host fixpoint is unchanged
(comments don't affect the compiled seed).
Delete five files that were Janet-host shims with no Chez path: clojure.java.io
(provided natively by host/chez/io.ss), and jolt.{nrepl,png,interop,shell}
(the janet.* bridge, os/shell, janet.net — none exist on Chez).
jolt-cf1q.6
host/chez/natives-array.ss: a jolt-array over a mutable Chez vector + object/typed
constructors (object-array/int-array/.../byte-array/make-array/into-array/to-array/
aclone), typed aset-*, byte/short coercions, bytes?/bytes/ints/..., and eager
chunk-buffer/chunk-* (Jolt doesn't chunk). count/nth/seq/get and jolt.host/ref-put!
are extended to see a jolt-array, so the overlay's aget/aset/alength work over it.
Numbers it produces are flonums (jolt's rep) so exactness-aware = holds. char-array
stays in io.ss (a char-SEQ that io/reader/str/slurp consume).
natives-parity.ss adds: __reader-features / -set!, reader-conditional, re-matcher,
delay? (stub — no delay type yet), macroexpand / macroexpand-1 (via the host-contract
macro seams).
A Chez array is a DISTINCT object (= the JVM), not a seq, so comparing a BARE array
to a list diverges from the Janet array-as-seq stub — those cases are allowlisted on
both gates (element ops aget/aset/alength/seq/vec pass). zero-Janet 2600->2642,
prelude 2590->2629, 0 new divergences; Janet gate + JVM cert green.
jolt-cf1q.7
Native Chez shims for clojure.core fns that live in the Janet seed but had none
on the zero-Janet spine (they resolved to nil -> "not a fn"):
- host/chez/natives-parity.ss: hash / hash-combine / hash-ordered-coll /
hash-unordered-coll (24-bit masked like core_extra), transient?, rseq (vectors +
sorted colls), cat (transducer).
- jolt-invoke now dispatches a TRANSIENT vec/map/set as a fn (callable on the JVM):
((transient [10 20 30]) 1) -> 20.
- ns.ss: ns-resolve, ns-imports, remove-ns, intern, alias, ns-unalias, refer,
ns-refers, refer-clojure, alter-meta!, reset-meta!, and a real ns-aliases (was a
stub returning {}).
- runtime (require ...)/(use ...) now register :as/:refer into the Chez ns tables
(was a no-op). The Chez analyzer already pre-registers at analyze time, but when
the JANET analyzer compiled the form (prelude path) the Chez tables stayed empty,
so ns-aliases/ns-resolve over an alias diverged — this fixes both paths.
Seed unchanged (overlay doesn't reference these at mint time). zero-Janet corpus
2567->2600, prelude 2557->2590, 0 new divergences on either; Janet gate + JVM cert
green. Filed jolt-vgrp for the pre-existing var-get-of-scalar-native-op quirk.
jolt-cf1q.7
No mature Chez fibers library exists and this is a threaded Chez build, so a go
block is an OS thread and a channel is a mutex+condition blocking queue: <! / >!
are the blocking <!! / >!! and work anywhere (no CPS transform), like the Janet
stackful-fiber model but with real parallelism and a shared heap.
host/chez/async.ss provides chan (unbuffered rendezvous / fixed / dropping /
sliding), <! >! <!! >!! close! alts! timeout put! take! buffer ctors, channel
transducers, and go-spawn, all def-var!'d into clojure.core.async; go/go-loop/
thread are macros (mark-macro!) expanding to go-spawn, mirroring src/jolt/
async.janet. Binding conveyance rides the thread-parameter binding stack from
pt.1. alts! polls with a 1ms backoff (no cross-channel wait-set yet) and is
take-only, matching the Janet impl.
(require '[clojure.core.async ...]) resolves it with no file load — the vars are
resident and require just registers the :as/:refer.
cli-test covers go/buffered-drain/nested-<!/alts!/transducer/timeout/binding-
conveyance (43/43). core.async isn't in the conformance corpus (feature-gated
:async/core-async), so coverage is the Chez cli-test plus the existing Janet
core-async-spec. Seed unchanged (no .clj touched). Prelude corpus 2534->2559,
zero-Janet 2569, 0 new divergences on either; Janet gate + JVM cert green.
jolt-byjr
future/future-call run the body on a native thread (fork-thread) over the SAME
heap — JVM semantics, not Janet's isolated-heap snapshot. deref blocks on a
mutex+condition latch; timed (deref f ms val) uses an absolute deadline.
promise is a real blocking promise (deref parks until deliver), replacing the
Janet non-blocking atom shim. future?/future-done?/future-cancelled?/future-cancel
/realized? are native (the overlay versions read Janet map keys); re-asserted in
post-prelude over the overlay. pmap/pcalls/pvalues (overlay, over future) light
up for free.
Thread-safety this forces:
- atoms get a per-atom mutex; swap!/swap-vals! are a JVM-style CAS loop (f runs
outside the lock, so a watch/validator can deref the same atom); reset!/
compare-and-set! are atomic.
- the dynamic binding stack becomes a Chez thread-parameter, so each future/thread
has its own; Chez inherits it at fork, giving binding conveyance (the shim also
installs an explicit snapshot).
- Thread/sleep really sleeps now (a worker sleeping doesn't block the parent).
Re-minted the seed: future-call now resolves at compile time, so pmap compiles to
a var-deref instead of the host-static-call fallback that crashed. image.ss
unchanged.
Corpus: the 2 snapshot cases now match the JVM (shared) not Janet (isolated) —
allowlisted on both Chez gates; the two racy future-cancel cases allowlisted;
"promise undelivered" (blocks on JVM/Chez, profile :bucket :timeout) skipped like
:throws. Zero-Janet corpus 2544 -> 2569, 0 new divergences, floor raised. Full
Janet gate + JVM cert green.
jolt-byjr
The on-Chez analyzer (inc6a) skipped macros, so let/when/->/defn didn't
expand from source. Each core/stdlib defmacro now emits into the prelude as
(def-var! ns name <expander fn>) + (mark-macro! ns name); form-macro?/
form-expand-1 on Chez look up the macro flag (rt.ss var-macro-table) and
apply the expander to the unevaluated arg forms, and the analyzer re-analyzes
the result. The expander's syntax-quote template was lowered to construction
code at cross-compile time, so it builds the expansion via __sqcat/__sqvec/
__sqmap/__sqset/__sq1 (new host/chez/syntax-quote.ss) as Chez reader forms.
Emit the bare (fn ...), not (def NAME (fn ...)): analyzing a def would
host-intern! NAME as a non-macro stub in the build ctx, and that stub makes a
later (require '[stdlib-ns]) skip loading the real macro — with-pprint-dispatch
then resolved as a fn and returned its unexpanded template. Wrapping the
lambda in def-var! manually never interns NAME. Fuller build-ctx isolation
(so stdlib cases pass instead of crash) tracked in jolt-lpvi.
__sqset builds a real set VALUE, not the reader's tagged-set form — a runtime
`#{~@xs} must be a set, not a map. form-set? additionally recognizes a pset so
a macro template's #{...} expansion still re-analyzes as a set literal.
spine-test 35/35 (20 macro cases: when/when-not/let/->/->>/and/or/cond/if-not/
defn run zero-Janet from source). Prelude parity 2280->2295, 0 new divergences.
Full Janet gate green.
Close the remaining Phase-2 stdlib parity gaps.
clojure.set: pure Clojure over core, so just added to the prelude stdlib tier
(driver.janet stdlib-ns-files + jolt-chez fingerprint), same as clojure.edn.
clojure.math: not a .clj on the seed (native math/ bindings via jolt-h79), so
Chez gets its own host/chez/math.ss def-var!ing each fn over Chez native flonum
math. The analyzer already knows the ns (api.janet install-clojure-math!), so
refs lower to var-deref. Also adds the missing 'long' coercion to converters.ss
(int's sibling; several math cases wrap in long).
clojure.pprint: dropped the 2-arity's (binding [*out* writer] ...). *out* isn't
a bindable var in jolt — printing routes through the host (dyn :out) seam, so
the binding never redirected anything; it only made the defn uncompilable, which
the seed tolerated via interpreter fallback. Chez has no fallback, so the whole
pprint defn died. Dropping it is behavior-preserving (writer was always ignored)
and lets pprint compile cleanly. Both corpus cases pass.
Corpus parity 2259 -> 2280, crashes 191 -> 170, 0 new divergences. Floor raised.
New unit test test/chez/_stdlib.janet (27/27). Full Janet gate green (147 files).
Chez-side recursive-descent Clojure reader (host/chez/reader.ss) producing the
same jolt forms the Janet reader yields, behind the read-string / __parse-next /
__read-tagged seams the seed registers in eval_runtime.janet. That lights up the
whole *in* read family — read, read+string, with-in-str (read) — plus read-string
and read-string metadata, none of which needed an analyzer change (read-string is
a clojure.core seam, jolt-nil on the prelude until now).
Reader output is pinned to the Janet reader's shapes: numbers coerce to flonum
(the all-double model emit-const uses, else a read int isn't = a source int),
sets read as the {:jolt/type :jolt/set :value [...]} FORM, #tag/#inst/#uuid/#regex
as tagged forms (no data reader applied — read-string never evaluates), ^meta on
a symbol, and the ' ` ~ ~@ @ reader macros. clojure.edn is added to the prelude
tier; its edn->value builds the real set/tagged values and __read-tagged reuses
the inc X #inst/#uuid constructors. The reader-arity edn/read stays a lazy gap
(drain-reader is Janet-coupled) — read-string is the live path.
eval / load-string / runtime defmacro are still out: they need the compiler at
runtime, which is Phase 3 (self-host). Chez-only change, no Janet gate.
Parity 2238 -> 2259, 0 new divergences. _reader 47/47; all chez unit tests green;
emit-test 331/331.
The analyzer lowers a #inst/#uuid tagged form to a :inst/:uuid IR leaf, mirroring
the existing :regex node: the Janet back end punts to the interpreter (its
data-readers parse the literal, so seed behavior is unchanged), the Chez back end
emits jolt-inst-from-string / jolt-uuid-from-string.
host/chez/inst-time.ss is the Chez-native value layer: a jinst record holding
epoch ms (RFC3339 parsed via Hinnant civil/days math, with Clojure's partial
defaults and +/-hh:mm offsets), wired into jolt-get (so the overlay inst?/inst-ms
read it), jolt= / jolt-hash (instant identity as a map key), pr-str (#inst
"...-00:00"), str, type, and instance? java.util.Date. The java.time surface
(DateTimeFormatter ofPattern/ISO_LOCAL_DATE_TIME/ofLocalized*, the pattern engine,
Instant, ZoneId, LocalDateTime, FormatStyle, Locale, Date) ports java_base.janet
over host-static.ss's registries.
Corpus 2202->2238, 0 new divergences; clears the whole 'unsupported form'
emit-fail bucket. Full Janet gate green (analyzer/backend changes are
behaviour-preserving — #inst still parses through the interpreter's data-readers
on the seed).
A File is a path-backed jfile record: (instance? java.io.File f) is true,
str/slurp coerce it to its path, and the File method surface (getName/
getPath/exists/isDirectory/isFile/listFiles/getParent) dispatches through
record-method-dispatch. slurp/spit/flush run over Chez's filesystem
primitives; file-seq's dir primitives (__file?/__dir?/__list-dir) and the
overlay's File branch (.isDirectory/.listFiles, which emit to jolt-host-call)
are jfile-aware. clojure.java.io/file + as-file are def-var!'d natively.
New host/chez/io.ss, a Chez-native implementation -- the seed's
clojure.java.io (io.clj) is a Janet-backed shim over janet.*/janet.file, so
it can't be reused. The analyzer resolves io/file because the seed ctx has
clojure.java.io loaded; only a runtime def-var! is needed. type/instance-
check/str-render/jolt-host-call are extended via the set!-wrap pattern (type
also re-def-var!'d since the var cell captured the old value).
Reader/StringReader-coupled io (io/reader, line-seq over a file, .toURL,
slurp over a reader) deferred to jolt-at0a.
Parity 2176 -> 2191, 0 new divergences. New test/chez/_io.janet 20/20.
Bare class names (String, Keyword, File...) evaluate to their JVM
canonical-name string, the same value (class x) returns, so
(= String (class "x")) holds and (defmethod m String ...) keys match a
(class ...) dispatch. New host/chez/host-class.ss ports
eval_resolve.janet's class-canonical-names + core_refs.janet's core-class
(scalar arms; collections/seqs are host-taxonomy-dependent and not class-
compared in the corpus).
The analyzer already resolves these names to clojure.core vars (the seed
ctx interns them via setup-class-ctors), so the back end emits
(var-deref "clojure.core" "String") and a runtime def-var! is all that's
needed -- no analyzer change, Janet path untouched. The class native MUST
land together with token resolution: alone it turns the bare-token corpus
cases (562/564) into divergences (this bit last session).
Parity 2154 -> 2163 (cases 560/562/563/564/2500-2503), 0 new divergences.
New test/chez/_class.janet 19/19.
The analyzer lowers the `.` special form (. target member arg*) and the
.-field field-access head to a :host-call instead of leaving them
uncompilable. Janet behaviour is unchanged — its back end punts :host-call
to the interpreter, which re-runs the original `.` form via eval-dot.
The Chez back end routes a non-shimmed :host-call through
record-method-dispatch, extended by a new host/chez/dot-forms.ss with the
arms dispatch-member covers but the record/string base did not, mirroring
src/jolt/interop/collections.janet precedence:
- collection interop first (count/seq/nth/get/valAt/containsKey on a
vector/map/set), so (. {:count 9} count) is the entry count like the seed
- field access for a "-name" member (records and maps)
- the seed's universal object-methods (getMessage/getCause/toString/
hashCode/equals) on a non-record map, winning over a field lookup
- non-record map member: a stored fn is a method called with self, else
the field value
Raw seqs are excluded from coll interop — the seed's behaviour there is
representation-dependent (plain (seq v) vs a lazy-seq) and a normalized cseq
can't mirror it. Also added getMessage/getLocalizedMessage/equals to the
string method surface so a thrown string / Exception. ctor (which keeps the
message string) answers .getMessage.
Parity 2134 -> 2150, 0 new divergences. New test/chez/_dotform.janet 26/26;
emit-test 331/331.
Lower host class interop on the Chez back end. The analyzer now turns a
non-var qualified ref `Class/member` into a :host-static node and a
`(Class. ...)` / `(new Class ...)` form into a :host-new node (ir.clj
gains both, with walker support). The Janet back end punts both to the
interpreter, so its behavior is unchanged (verified: dot-form, `..`
threading, shadowed `new`, and all interop still resolve via fallback).
The Chez emit lowers a value ref to host-static-ref, a call head to
host-static-call, and a constructor to host-new. host/chez/host-static.ss
is the runtime registry these resolve against — the Chez port of the
seed's class-statics / class-ctors / tagged-methods (java_base.janet +
host_io.janet), restricted to the java.lang/util/net/io surface portable
cljc code calls: Math, System (getenv/getProperty/exit/currentTimeMillis),
Long, Integer, Boolean, Character, String, Thread, Class, Pattern
(compile/quote/MULTILINE), URLEncoder/Decoder, Base64, the Number method
surface (byteValue/intValue/...), plus the StringBuilder, StringWriter,
StringReader, PushbackReader, HashMap, StringTokenizer, BigInteger,
String, MapEntry, and exception constructors. Constructed objects are
jhost records dispatched through record-method-dispatch.
Also: emit now evaluates collection-literal elements left-to-right
(emit-ordered) — Chez evaluates call args right-to-left, which had been
swapping side-effecting elements in [(read r) (read r)] and map literals.
This un-allowlisted the 6 eval-order corpus cases (the read-line trio +
the three map-construction cases). Removed `.write` from the
jolt-host-call fast-path so a StringWriter routes through dispatch.
java.time formatting, edn/read-over-readers, and slurp/with-open over
readers are deferred to a follow-up.
Corpus parity 2078 -> 2134 (floor raised), 0 new divergences; the
print-method builtin-override case is allowlisted (same multimethod gap,
newly reachable now that StringWriter constructs). emit-test 326/326,
_javastatic 51/51, conformance 355x3, full jpm test green.
Port the java.lang.String/CharSequence method surface to the Chez RT so
(.toUpperCase s), (.substring s a b), (.indexOf s x), the regex methods
(.matches/.replaceAll/.replaceFirst/.split), etc. run on a string target.
natives-str.ss holds jolt-string-method, ported from the seed's surface in
eval_resolve.janet: ASCII case mapping (byte-oriented like the seed), -1 on
indexOf miss, flonum numeric returns to match jolt's number model, Scheme
chars for charAt, and the regex methods over the irregex compiled via
jolt-re-pattern. record-method-dispatch gains a string? arm that falls
through to it (unsupported methods still throw).
Corpus prelude floor 2002 -> 2026 (+24), 0 new divergences. _str 27/27 vs
build/jolt; full jpm test + conformance x3 green.
The (. x m) dot-form (the . special form, distinct from .method sugar) and
the clojure.string namespace (needs prelude plumbing + Pattern) stay deferred.
Add the dynamic-binding cluster on the Chez RT: a per-thread binding stack
(host/chez/dyn-binding.ss) backing binding / with-bindings* / var-set /
thread-bound? / with-local-vars / with-redefs / bound-fn* /
get-thread-bindings / alter-var-root + the __local-var seam.
Frames are stored innermost-first as identity-keyed alists of mutable
(cell . value) pairs, so var-set updates the current binding in place. The
two var-read paths — var-deref (compiled code) and jolt-var-get (var-get /
deref on a cell) — are chained onto the stack so a `binding` frame is seen
by every read, with a fast path when the stack is empty. var-cells now hash
by ns/name so a var works as a map key (with-redefs builds (hash-map (var f)
v); get-thread-bindings returns a var-keyed map).
Fix a latent bug exposed once with-in-str could bind *in*: seq? didn't
recognize a lazy-seq. predicates.ss's jolt-seq? predates the lazyseq record,
and unlike the native-op dispatchers it's reached via var-deref, so the
patch must re-def-var! the var, not just set! the top-level binding.
Note: with-bindings* over a hash-map literal now returns the correct Clojure
value where the seed returns a stale one — the seed's PHM can't find a var
key (which is why its `binding` uses array-map); on Chez frames look up by
cell identity.
Prelude corpus parity 1972 -> 2000, floor raised. Gate: _dynbind 24/24,
prelude corpus 0 divergences, full jpm test, conformance 355x3.
Capture a def's reader metadata on the Chez var. The :def emit now lowers a def
with non-empty metadata to def-var-with-meta!, which stores the user meta
(^:private / ^Type tag / docstring -> {:doc}) in an eq side-table keyed by the
var-cell. jolt-meta of a var-cell merges that onto {:ns :name} derived from the
cell, so every var reports {:ns :name} like Clojure with the def-time meta
layered on. (^{:map} metadata on a def name stays uncompilable for the compiler
generally — analyzer rejects it, the Janet back end punts to its interpreter,
which Chez lacks — so it's out of subset, not a meta-capture gap.)
Added natives-meta.ss to the prelude-cache fingerprint. Prelude parity
1969 -> 1972, 0 new divergences; the three var-metadata allowlist entries
(^:private / ^Type tag / docstring) dropped. New focused gate
test/chez/_var_meta.janet.
Reimplement the ctx-coupled seed ns natives over the rt.ss var-table, since
Chez has no ctx. host/chez/ns.ss adds a jns namespace value + a registry and
binds find-ns/the-ns/create-ns/in-ns/all-ns/ns-publics/ns-map/ns-interns/
ns-aliases/resolve/find-var/ns-unmap/*ns* into clojure.core.
The resolve friction: native-ops (+, map, …) are inlined at emit so they have
no var-cell, and (resolve '+) was nil — diverging from Clojure where it's a
var. Added a defined? flag to the var-cell record (set by def-var!/declare-var!,
left false on a lazily-materialised forward ref) and def-var!'d every native-op
name to its value-position proc, so resolve returns the cell iff genuinely
defined. ns-unmap clears the flag. resolve never interns an empty cell
(var-cell-lookup is non-creating).
ns-name is overridden natively in post-prelude (the overlay reads
(get ns :name), nil on a jns record); the printers render a namespace as its
name. *ns* binds to the user ns; in-ns re-binds it. use/require cross-ns
switching stays deferred to Phase 3 (the analyzer bakes a def's target ns at
compile time).
Prelude parity 1951 -> 1969, 0 new divergences; four now-passing allowlist
entries dropped (ns *ns* cases + str-of-a-var). New focused gate test/chez/
_ns.janet (19 cases, expectations from the JVM-canonical build/jolt).
inc I (jolt-n7rz) — vars as first-class objects. (var x)/#'x lowered a
:the-var IR op the Chez emitter didn't handle (57 emit-fails, the biggest
bucket); emit it to the rt.ss var-cell and shim the static var ops in
vars.ss: var?/var-get/deref/var-as-IFn/var =/pr-str (#'ns/name) + a native
bound? (the overlay reads (get v :root), nil on a var-cell record). def now
RETURNS the var (#'ns/name) like Clojure — def-var!/declare-var! yield the
cell, not the value — so (var? (def x 1)) is true and pr-str-of-var/defn
pass (un-allowlisted). Dynamic binding (binding/with-bindings*/var-set/
thread-bound?) stays a follow-up; those crash on nil host prims (safe).
Var def-time metadata (^:private/^Type/doc) isn't captured yet — allowlisted.
inc J (jolt-snry) — scalar natives. natives-misc.ss: a juuid record
(random-uuid v4 / parse-uuid / uuid? / #uuid pr-str / str), a %-format
engine (%d/%s/%.Nf/%x/%c/%%; printf rides on it), a jtagged record
(tagged-literal + :tag/:form + #tag pr-str), bigint/biginteger as
near-identity over the all-flonum model. Overlay names (uuid?/random-uuid/
parse-uuid/tagged-literal?) re-asserted in post-prelude.ss.
Prelude parity 1898 -> 1951, 0 new divergences. Floor raised to 1951.
sequence and transduce were seed natives nil on the prelude; the stateful
transducer arities (take-nth/map-indexed/partition-by, overlay) drive a
volatile via volatile!/vswap!/vreset!/deref, also unshimmed — so the whole
(sequence xform coll) / (transduce xform f coll) surface crashed.
natives-xform.ss: native volatiles (a jvol record + volatile!/vreset!/
vswap!/volatile? + a deref arm); transduce/sequence built on the existing
into-xform / reduce-seq. The overlay vreset!/vswap!/volatile? drive a
volatile through ref-put!/:jolt/type (tagged-table only), so they're
overridden natively in post-prelude.ss.
driver.janet: drain each chez pipe to EOF instead of a single ev/read. A
program with a stdout side effect (newline) flushes in two writes and a
lone ev/read sometimes caught only the first chunk, dropping the trailing
value — an intermittent gate divergence. Now reads until the pipe closes.
Prelude parity 1886 -> 1898, 0 new divergences. Floor raised to 1898.
The lazy-seq macro expands to (make-lazy-seq (fn* [] (coll->cells body)))
and lazy-cat to (concat (lazy-seq c) ...); both seed natives were nil on
the prelude, so every overlay fn built on lazy-seq — repeat/iterate/
cycle/dedupe/take-nth/keep/interpose/reductions/map-indexed/distinct/
interleave/tree-seq(->flatten)/partition-all/lazy-cat — hit apply-jolt-nil.
lazy-bridge.ss bridges to the cseq model: a jolt-lazyseq is a deferred
seq forced once by an extended jolt-seq; jolt-cons defers a lazyseq tail
so an infinite (repeat/iterate/cycle) stays lazy. A lazyseq is a new
value type, so the dispatchers that don't route through jolt-seq learn it
(sequential? for =/hash, plus count/empty?/nth/printers) or a raw
unrealized lazyseq escapes — the corpus compares (= [1 3 5] (take-nth …))
against it directly.
seq.ss: jolt-concat is now fully lazy (the rest isn't forced until the
first coll is exhausted), so a self-referential lazy-cat — fib =
(lazy-cat [0 1] (map + (rest fib) fib)) — no longer memoizes its tail as
empty by reading fib before its def binds.
Prelude parity 1837 -> 1886, 0 new divergences. Floor raised to 1886.
jolt.host/tagged-table, ref-put!, ref-get resolved to jolt-nil on the
prelude, so the 25-sorted tier and every overlay fn that calls sorted?
(empty, ifn?, reversible?, map?, set?, coll?) hit apply-jolt-nil.
host-table.ss provides the three primitives over a Chez mutable htable
record and set!-extends the collection dispatchers (seq/count/get/
contains?/assoc1/dissoc/conj1/disj/empty?/keys/vals/coll?/map?/set? +
printers + equality + value-host-tags) with a sorted arm routing through
each value's :ops table — the seed dispatch pattern, same as records.ss.
first/rest/next fall out free since they seq first. Sorted colls print
in sorted order ({k v, k v} for maps) and = canonicalize like their
unordered counterparts.
emit.janet: a computed call operator (an :invoke/:if expr that yields an
IFn, e.g. ((sorted-map :a 1) :k)) now routes through jolt-invoke instead
of a raw Scheme application.
Prelude parity 1723 -> 1837, 0 new divergences. Floor raised to 1837.
meta/with-meta resolved to jolt-nil. Chez values don't carry metadata, so
collections use an identity-keyed side-table: with-meta returns a fresh copy of
the value (new identity) and records its meta there, leaving the original
unchanged (immutable-with-meta) and dropping meta on a later copying op. Symbols
carry meta in their existing field; meta on a non-metadatable value is nil.
vary-meta works over these. with-meta on a fn stays fn? (jolt is lenient).
emit.janet carries a quoted symbol's reader metadata (^:foo bar) onto the
emitted jolt-symbol so (meta 'x) sees it; symbol = still ignores meta.
Prelude parity 1701 -> 1723, 0 new divergences. jolt-rkbc.
The largest remaining crash bucket: defrecord/deftype/defprotocol/extend-type/
reify. make-deftype-ctor/make-protocol/protocol-dispatch/register-method/
satisfies?/extenders/instance-check/make-reified were ctx-capturing seed natives
resolving to jolt-nil.
records.ss adds a jrec type (tag + field alist), set!-extended into every
collection dispatcher (get/=/hash/count/keys/vals/seq/assoc/conj/contains?/map?/
pr-str/pr-readable/str) via the transients.ss capture-prev pattern, plus a
protocol registry (type-tag -> proto -> method -> fn) and dispatch over record
tags / host-type candidates. (get rec :jolt/deftype) returns the tag, so the
overlay record? works unchanged. A record equals another of the same type with
equal fields, is map?/coll? not vector?, prints #ns.Name{...}, and str uses a
custom Object toString impl when defined.
emit.janet :host-call now routes a non-shimmed method to record-method-dispatch
(was an emit-fail), so (.protoMethod record args) compiles; .-field access is
still analyzer-punted (deferred).
Prelude parity 1652 -> 1701, 0 new divergences. 4 print-method-multimethod cases
moved crash->allowlist (the printer doesn't consult a custom print-method yet).
jolt-jgoc.
__pr-str1/__write/__with-out-str/__eprint/__eprintf resolved to jolt-nil, so the
whole overlay print family (pr-str/pr/prn/print/println/print-str/prn-str/
println-str) hit the apply-jolt-nil crash bucket. jolt-pr-str is str-style
(strings raw); pr-str needs readable (pr) style — strings quoted+escaped at every
level. printing.ss adds the readable renderer (mirrors jolt-pr-str, recurses,
delegates scalars), plus the infinities long-form and a transient arm (those
were crash->divergence reveals once pr-str ran).
jolt-9zhh.
set/hash-map/hash-set/array-map/rand resolved to jolt-nil on the prelude
(the apply-jolt-nil crash bucket) — the pmap/pset ctors already existed in
collections.ss, just bind the public clojure.core names to them.
Map entries are now a distinct type: a pvec carries an ent flag (default #f),
so an entry equals its [k v] vector and walks like one (nth/count/seq/=/hash/
print read only v) but is not vector? and is map-entry? — matching Clojure's
MapEntry. seqing a map produces flagged entries; vector? excludes them. This
unblocks key/val (overlay fns gated on map-entry?) and the every? map-entry?
cases.
Prelude parity 1534 -> 1593, 0 new divergences. jolt-agw6.
host/chez/dynamic-vars.ss binds the two seed-native dynamic vars that aren't
emitted into the prelude: *clojure-version* (the {:major 1 :minor 11 ...} map) and
*unchecked-math* (false). Removes their two run-corpus-prelude allowlist entries
(now 11, all passing).
*ns* is deferred to jolt-b4kl: it needs a namespace value that is not a map yet
answers (get ns :name) for the overlay ns-name, plus str/find-ns support.
Parity 1530 -> 1532/2497, 0 new divergences. emit-test 305/305.
host/chez/multimethods.ss implements the multimethod runtime: defmulti/defmethod
expand to defmulti-setup/defmethod-setup calls (+ get-method/methods/
remove-method/prefer-method/prefers). A jolt-multifn record carries its dispatch
fn and a jolt=-keyed method table; jolt-invoke dispatches it (exact match, then
isa?/hierarchy with prefer-method, then :default), reusing the overlay's
isa?/derive/make-hierarchy. The multifn's ns comes from a runtime chez-current-ns
(default user; the prelude load sets clojure.core for print-method/print-dup).
Two emit-side changes were needed:
- late-bind (:late-bind-unresolved? ctx flag, default OFF): defmulti expands to a
bare-symbol setup call, so the analyzer doesn't intern the name and a forward
reference '(area ...)' after '(defmulti area ...)' in one form was 'Unable to
resolve symbol'. The strict compiler punts these to the interpreter; the Chez
back end has none, so the flag lowers an unresolved symbol to a var-ref against
the compile ns (open-world -e semantics). Set only by the Chez make-ctx /
jolt-chez; the main compiler keeps strict resolution (host_iface late-bind?
defaults nil).
- a :var call head now routes through jolt-invoke, since a late-bound var can hold
a multifn (or keyword/coll IFn), not just a procedure. Transparent for
procedures; the hot self-recursive call is a :local known-proc, stays direct.
Class-based dispatch ((class x)/String) deferred (needs deftype/class subsystem).
Parity 1506 -> 1530/2497, 0 new divergences. emit-test 302/302. Full janet gate
green (the analyzer flag is off there; suite flakiness under parallel load only).
The dominant prelude-parity crash bucket was 'apply non-procedure jolt-nil':
core fns calling seed-native seq fns (core_coll.janet) that have no Chez RT
shim, so var-deref returns jolt-nil. A static scan of the assembled prelude
turned up 52 referenced-but-undefined clojure.core names.
host/chez/natives-seq.ss shims the safe seq fns over the existing seq layer:
mapcat, take-while, drop-while, partition (collection arities only — the 1-arg
transducer forms are jolt-kxsr), and sort (compare default; a comparator may
return a 3-way number or a boolean less-than). reduced/reduced? is a jolt-reduced
record in seq.ss that reduce short-circuits on and deref unwraps, so unreduced
works. identical? = jolt= (the seed's definition).
Deferred list?: a Chez lazy seq and a list are both cseq, so it can't be told
apart without a distinct list type — a real divergence risk.
Parity 1407 -> 1467/2497, 0 new divergences. emit-test 263/263.
##Inf/##-Inf/##NaN were emitted to bare inf/-inf/nan, which are unbound symbols in
Chez. emit-const now lowers them to +inf.0/-inf.0/+nan.0. The -e/element printer
renders them inf/-inf/nan (Chez's number->string gives +inf.0), and str renders the
long Clojure forms Infinity/-Infinity/NaN. assoc! is now variadic ((assoc! t k v
& kvs)) like Clojure.
Prelude parity 1382 -> 1407/2497, 0 new divergences. str of inf INSIDE a collection
still wants the long form (needs the Phase-2 recursive str renderer), so
[inf inside coll] is allowlisted. Transducer arities and the cdr-on-()/\p{} regex
gaps are split out to jolt-kxsr/jolt-y1zq.
transient/persistent!/conj!/assoc!/dissoc!/disj!/pop! as copy-on-write over the
persistent collections (host/chez/transients.ss) — each op rebuilds the persistent
coll (no in-place perf) but the semantics match, so into/frequencies/group-by work.
Adds persistent disj over pset-disj. get/count/contains? are redefined to see
through a transient (frequencies and group-by both do (get tm k) on a transient
map); vector? on a transient vector is false, which group-by relies on.
Prelude parity 1326 -> 1382/2497, 0 new divergences. emit-test exercises the direct
transient ops via run-prelude and the overlay users (frequencies/group-by/into)
end-to-end through the bin/jolt-chez -e binary.
str/subs/vec/keyword/symbol/compare/int/double/gensym — host-coupled seed natives
the overlay assumes, now def-var!'d into clojure.core via host/chez/converters.ss
(loaded last, str reuses jolt-pr-str). Semantics match the seed: str-render-one
for str (nil->"", bare chars, regex source), the 3-way core-compare port, int
truncates. The symbol no-ns sentinel is #f to match emit's quoted-symbol lowering
(jolt-symbol #f "x"), so (= 'x (symbol "x")) holds — jolt= compares ns with strict
equal?, and jolt-nil vs #f would otherwise diverge.
Prelude parity 1220 -> 1326/2497, 0 new divergences. Floor raised to 1326; three
newly-reached *ns*/var-rendering cases added to the allowlist (Phase 2). run-prelude
and the per-case program file are now PID-unique so concurrent chez runs don't read
each other's half-written files.
Emit every non-macro clojure.core form through the live analyzer -> Chez emit
pipeline as a def-var! prelude (prelude mode, tier dependency order), load it
before a user expression, and you get an -e-capable jolt-chez: analysis on Janet,
execution on Chez. driver/emit-core-prelude assembles it (each form behind a
silent load guard so the Phase-2 multimethod forms don't break the rest);
bin/jolt-chez is the -e CLI, caching the prelude on disk keyed by source hash.
run-corpus-prelude.janet is the full parity gate this opens, the prelude-backed
sibling of run-corpus-chez. First baseline: 1220/2497 evaluated cases pass, 0 new
divergences (10 allowlisted: dynamic vars, class names, eval-order — deferred
Phase 2). The rest is the punch-list: ~360 emit-fail (real host interop, out of
the analyzer subset) and ~900 runtime crashes, mostly core fns calling
host-coupled seed natives with no Chez shim yet (str/format/vec, transients).
Follow-ups jolt-t6cr/kl2l/q3w8/9ls5.
Two shims landed to get the prelude to load and run. atoms.ss: atom/deref/swap!/
reset! (+ the compare/vals kernel) — needed at load time for
global-hierarchy = (atom (make-hierarchy)). predicates.ss: the type predicates +
name/namespace/boolean the overlay assumes are seed natives, matching the seed's
strict semantics. post-prelude.ss re-asserts char?/atom? after the prelude: the
overlay implements those by reading :jolt/type, which is false for Chez-native
chars/atoms, so its def-var! would clobber the correct native versions.
Per-case Scheme files are PID-unique so a foreground -e never reads a half-written
file while the gate runs.
Closes the last clojure.core prelude emit gap (parse-uuid): the whole
non-macro core now lowers to Scheme (prelude reach 355/355).
A #"..." literal analyzes to a :regex IR node. The Chez back end emits
a jolt-regex value over irregex (Alex Shinn, BSD), vendored as the
vendor/irregex submodule -- a portable Scheme regex with PCRE/Java-style
string patterns and first-class Chez support. host/chez/regex.ss wraps
jolt's re-* surface over it: irregex-match -> re-matches (anchored),
irregex-search -> re-find, groups as Clojure [whole g1 ...] vectors,
re-seq as a jolt seq. re-pattern/re-matches/re-find/re-seq/regex? are
def-var!'d into clojure.core so prelude / -e code resolves them.
They stay OUT of the subset native-ops on purpose: irregex's
Unicode/property-class semantics differ from the seed's byte-PEG
approximation, so keeping them prelude-only avoids dragging
engine-difference divergences into the subset-parity corpus. The Janet
back end punts :regex to the interpreter (the seed compiles #"..." to a
Janet PEG), so the main language is unchanged.
Only two adaptations for Chez's top level: a cond-expand shim (Chez's is
library-only) and a normalizing error wrapper (silences irregex's 1-arg
error warnings). rt.ss load is ~0.18s.
emit-test 131/131 (regex literal + re-* parity vs the CLI oracle);
prelude reach 355/355; Chez subset 672/672, 0 divergences; full gate
green.
(.method target arg*) now analyzes to a :host-call IR node instead of
punting at analyze. The Chez back end lowers it to a jolt-host-call
dispatch for the methods the RT shims (.write -> port display,
.isDirectory -> file-directory?, .listFiles -> directory-list); any
other method stays out of subset (clean emit-time reject, so it can't
read as a compiled-but-broken corpus divergence). The Janet back end
punts ALL :host-call to the interpreter, same shape as letfn: compiles
on Chez, interprets on Janet, zero change to the main language.
Closes the io tier's print-method defmethods and file-seq: prelude emit
reach 348 -> 354/355 (50-io 20/20). The one remaining gap is the regex
literal in parse-uuid (needs a regex engine on Chez; deferred).
emit-test 122/122; Chez subset 672/672, 0 divergences; full gate green.
Closes the last two non-host-interop prelude emit gaps.
letfn now analyzes to a :let node flagged :letrec — the binding fns are bound
into the env together before any spec is analyzed, so siblings and self resolve.
The Chez back end lowers it to letrec*; the Janet back end punts it at emit
(its sequential let* can't express the mutual recursion — same interpreter
fallback as before, just decided at emit-ir instead of analyze).
(def x) with no init (declare) analyzes to a :def with :no-init instead of
punting. Chez reserves the var cell via declare-var! (which doesn't clobber an
existing root — (do (def x 7) (def x) x) => 7); the Janet back end still punts
to the interpreter, which interns a genuinely-unbound var.
fallback-zero-test now checks emit-ir too, not just analyze-form, so the real
compile-vs-interpret decision is what it asserts (letfn/def-no-init analyze but
the Janet back end punts them). letfn stays in must-punt with an updated note.
Prelude emit reach 342 -> 348/355 (40-lazy now 13/13); Chez subset 664 -> 672,
0 divergences; emit-test 110 -> 117. Full gate green.
Emit :throw as jolt-throw (Scheme raise of the raw jolt value, matching the
Janet compiled back end's (error v) — no envelope, so catch binds it directly).
Emit :try as guard (catch; the class is dropped in the IR, so it's catch-all)
plus dynamic-wind for finally. ex-info is a native-op building the tagged jolt
map {:jolt/type :jolt/ex-info :message :data :cause}, so the ex-data/ex-message/
ex-cause tier fns read it over jolt-get for free.
Prelude emit reach 303 -> 334/355 (:throw and :try gaps close). Subset probe
619 -> 632/632 compiled, 0 divergences (throw/try/ex-info pull 13 corpus cases
into the subset). emit-test 94/94 (added 11 throw/try/ex-info cases + uncaught
exits non-zero). Full gate green.
Brings up the seq layer on the Chez runtime. host/chez/seq.ss adds one
lazy-capable node (cseq) that models Clojure's list, cons, and lazy seq -
all print as (...), all sequential-= to each other and to vectors. seq
coerces any seqable (vector/map/set/string/list/seq/nil) to a cseq or nil;
the empty seq is a distinct value printing () (rest of a 1-elem coll is ()
not nil, seq of empty is nil). Leaf ops: first/rest/next/seq/cons/list,
reverse/last, map/filter/remove/reduce/into, range/take/drop/concat/apply,
keys/vals, plus nth/peek/pop extended over seqs. map/filter/reduce apply
their fn arg through jolt-invoke, so a procedure, keyword, or collection all
work as the fn.
Dynamic IFn dispatch: a keyword/vector/coll held in a local (let binding or
fn param) and called as a fn now routes through the jolt-invoke fallback
(procedure? -> apply; keyword/coll -> lookup). The emitter only routes a
:local callee that isn't a known procedure - a named fn's self-recursion
name stays a direct call, so the fib hot path is untouched. Closes the 3
ex-known IFn divergences.
emit.janet: seq/pred ops added to native-ops with arity gates; value-position
clojure.core refs resolve to the RT procedure (native-ops names one for each),
with +/-/*// routed to flonum-coercing wrappers so higher-order arithmetic
((reduce + [])) keeps the all-double model. values.ss: cross-type sequential
=/hash so a vector and a list of the same elements are jolt= and hash alike.
rt.ss: printer learns seqs; top-level nil prints as the empty string (jolt -e
str-style). Fixed latent bug: (conj nil ...) now builds a list, not a vector.
Gates: emit-test 69/69 (fib/mandelbrot/collections/seq/IFn parity vs the jolt
oracle, fib(30) ~24ms unchanged). Subset probe 433/436 -> 595/595 compiled,
0 divergences (was 3 known), 2060/2655 out of subset. Full run-tests green
(125 files, conformance + suites included).
Broaden the Scheme back end past the numeric/functional subset to vectors,
maps, and sets. host/chez/collections.ss adds a copy-on-write persistent
vector and a bitmap HAMT (the structure 0c measured self-hostable) backing
both maps and sets, keyed by jolt-hash and compared by jolt=. emit.janet
emits :vector/:map/:set literals to the rt constructors and lowers the leaf
ops (conj/get/nth/count/assoc/dissoc/contains?/empty?/peek/pop) via the
native-ops path, with a per-op arity gate.
Also: keyword/map literals in fn position lower to jolt-get ((:k m), ({:k v} k));
arity-1 comparisons emit the vacuous jolt truth (Scheme < rejects a non-number
even at arity 1); count returns a flonum and vector indices coerce from flonum,
both consequences of the all-double number model; values.ss = / hash and the
rt printer learn collections (maps/sets render in HAMT order, so the probe
compares unordered values via =, not printed form).
Subset parity 182 -> 433/436 compiled cases (2219/2655 out of subset), 0 new
divergences. The 3 known divergences are dynamic IFn dispatch (a keyword/vector
held in a local, called as a fn) — deferred to the IFn/protocol increment and
allowlisted in the probe. emit-test 31/31, full run-tests green (125 files).
