+;;; NOTE: This document is just a draft idea sketch pad
+
+;;; Data types
+
+; Tuplr uses algebraic datatypes which can also be used in an
+; object based style with more flexibility than typical of
+; languages with algebraic datatypes
+;
+; There is a single way of defining a type (the 'type' form) which
+; encompasses unions, records, objects, etc.
+
+; A type is a discriminated union ("or") of types.
+; Type names (including variables) always start with an uppercase letter.
+
+; There are many equivalent terms for kinds of types. We uniformly use:
+; "Union" : "and", sum type
+; "Record" : "or", product type, object, struct
+
+; Example: A Tree is a Node with a value and left/right children, or Nothing
+; "Nothing" and "Node" are called constructors. In this case both are Records
+(type (Tree T)
+ (Nothing)
+ (Node value :T
+ left :(Tree T)
+ right :(Tree T)))
+
+; Constructors have one of two forms:
+; Union constructors have parameters enclosed in parenthesis, e.g.
+; (Maybe (Nothing) (Just x))
+; Record constructors do not, e.g.
+; (Point x y)
+;
+; Thus, types can be arbitrarily combined/nested, e.g
+(type (Collection T)
+ (Tree
+ (Nothing)
+ (Node value :T
+ left :(Tree T)
+ right :(Tree T)))
+ (List
+ (Nothing)
+ (Node value :T
+ next :(List T))))
+
+; Tree height (functional pattern matching style)
+(def (height t)
+ (match t:Tree
+ (Empty) 0
+ (Node v l r) (+ 1 (max (height l) (height r)))))
+
+; equivalently
+(def (height t)
+ (match t
+ (Tree.Empty) 0
+ (Tree.Node v l r) (+ 1 (max (height l) (height r)))))
+
+; GADTs
+; The return type of a constructor can be specified explicitly
+; e.g. a well-typed evaluator (this is not possible without GADTs):
+; (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/data-type-extensions.html#gadt)
+(type (Term T)
+ (Lit i :Int) :(Term Int)
+ (Succ t :Int) :(Term Int)
+ (IsZero t :Int) :(Term Bool)
+ (If c :Bool
+ t :(Term T)
+ e :(Term T)) :(Term T)
+ (Pair a :(Term T)
+ b :(Term T)) :(Term T))
+
+; Objects
+; A type with a single product constructor is simply that product type
+; (i.e. sum types with a single element do not exist by definition)
+; This can be used to create "record" or "object" types without any special
+; language facilities:
+(type (Person)
+ (Person
+ name :String
+ age :Number))
+
+; The '.' ("dot") operator can be used to inspect product types
+
+(def dave (Person 'name "Dave" 'age 27))
+
+(. dave name) ; => "Dave"
+(. dave age) ; => 27
+
+
+;; Everything Is A ...
+
+; Everything in Tuplr is a closure. Records are simply closures with some
+; internal definitions exposed (much like modules).
+
+; Objects can be created with their constructors:
+(def steve (Person "Steve" 24))
+
+; Equivalently (aside from type) with the generic Object constructor:
+(def steve2 (Object 'name "Steve" 'age 24))
+
+; Equivalently (aside from type) manually:
+(def steve2
+ (fn ()
+ (def name "Steve")
+ (def age 24)
+ (export name age)))
+
+;; RDF style objects
+
+; A class is just an object (closure) with some required properties (ala OWL)
+; All object fields have a URI. If a prefix is not explicitly given, the URI
+; is the base URI of the document, followed by the Class, a dot, then the name.
+; e.g. if the base URI of this document is "foo://bar/" the URI of "age" below is:
+; foo://bar/Person.age
+
+(ns foaf "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/")
+(ns geom "http://www.charlestoncore.org/ontology/2005/08/geometry")
+
+(def (Point T)
+ (Point
+ geom.x :T
+ geom.y :T))
+
+(type (Person)
+ foaf.name :String
+ age :Number)
+
+(type (Cat)
+ foaf.name :String
+ age :Number)
+
+; A 'constructor' (nothing special, just a function that returns a closure)
+(def (newborn name)
+ (fn ()
+ (def type Person) ; special, compiler will check required properties exist
+ (def foaf.name name)
+ (def age 1)))
+
+; Equivalently,
+(def (newborn name)
+ (Person
+ foaf.name name
+ age 1))
+
+(def stewie (newborn "Stewie"))
+(def stewies-age (. stewie age))
