Citrine Roadmap 2023 Version 0.9.5
Citrine Roadmap 0.9.5: Test-o-mat, Reflection & more
| The Hague, The Netherlands
After having released Citrine Koekamp (0.9.4) in January we already begin
to look forward to the next edition of Citrine, namely version 0.9.5: Sorghvliet.
For this release I will primarily focus on the quality of the code.
One of the biggest changes will
be the introduction of a new testing system named Test-o-Mat.
Test-o-Mat will be an advanced software testing system (BDD), that will replace the bash scripts that are currently used to test Citrine. The new testing system can also be used independently from Citrine by others to test applications written in other programming languages. It will be comparable to testing frameworks like Cucumber, Fitnesse and Selenium. Using the Citrine Programming language, developers will be able to write readable and maintainable test scenarios for all kinds of software.
Of course, this is not the only new feature in the upcoming new version.
Here is the complete feature list for
Citrine 0.9.5
Sorghvliet Edition:
- Test-o-mat
- Reflection API
- String minus message to remove parts of strings
- "Program use:" will use the current runtime working directory
- Fix issue with Path/Command objects that forget their value after a string message
- Fix Dutch time notation
- Fix minor language issue in Citrine/LT
- Less strict handling of CR characters (for files coming from a Windows PC)
- Rename internal constants
- Improve portability: Separate HTTP Request Parser from Server module
- Create PoC for AST to MicroPython
Furthermore, I plan to publish my first book about the Citrine Programming Language
in 2023. The book will be available in Dutch, English and Russian. Other languages may follow.
