v0.5

  • compiler
    • support local pattern matching functions
    • support recursive local definitions
    • more polymorph type for equality constraints (~) :: forall a . a -> a -> Type
    • tuples are representated as heterogeneous lists
    • support one-element tuple syntax: (( element ))
    • reduction: don't overnormalize (String -/-> [Char])
    • compiler optimization: names have Int identifiers
