Similar functionality will most likely be brought to other host languages in the future. Languages that (like JS) allow functions and arrays to be tagged with extra properties can host a full BQN implementation with good interoperability. Other languages would either require functions and arrays to be stored in specialized data structures, making interoperability a little harder, or would miss out on some inferred properties like function inverses and array fills.</p> <p>There is only one mechanism to interface between the host language and BQN: the function <code><span class='Value'>bqn</span></code> evaluates a string containing a BQN program and returns the result. Doesn't sound like much, especially considering these programs can't share any state such as global variables (BQN doesn't have those). But taking first-class functions and closures into account, it's all you could ever need!</p> |
