Future plans
High priority
hrp::Path language
Metadata similar to C# annotations (Harpoon will use the '#' character)
Get more people involved!
Preserving comments and formatting after deserialization (metadata of the data)
Medium priority
Binary format for efficient storage and fast serialization
Port to Java
Translating Harpoon types to C types (automatically generated header files)
Translating Harpoon types to C# types (reflection is perfect for this!)
Implementation of the arbitrary-precision number types
Harpoon C (C with Harpoon syntax, which means: homoiconic)
Functional language-like macros
I was considering adding parametrized types (similar to C++ templates),
but I came to conclusion, that this can be done with a much more
general mechanism. I would like to have a language (with Harpoon syntax
of course) describing (lazy?) transformations of Harpoon data, which
would be actually a functional language. With such a tool one could
write. A the moment it is only an early idea. I will expand it in future.
