PUT Language

PUT (Proficient Universal Transformer) is an experimental programming language designed for machine learning and scientific computing tasks. It aims to combine the simplicity of high-level languages with the performance needed for intensive computations.

Features

Currently, PUT supports:

• Basic arithmetic operations
• Variable declarations and assignments
• Parenthesized expressions
• Tensor operations (creation, addition)
• Project configuration via .zom files

Prerequisites

• Rust (latest stable version)
• Cargo (comes with Rust)

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/put-lang.git
   cd put-lang
   

2. Build the project:

   cargo build
   

Usage

To run the PUT interpreter:

cargo run

This will execute the sample code in main.rs and demonstrate basic language features and tensor operations.

Project Structure

• src/main.rs: Entry point and demo code
• src/ast.rs: Abstract Syntax Tree definitions
• src/lexer.rs: Lexical analysis
• src/parser.rs: Parsing logic
• src/token.rs: Token definitions
• src/zom_parser.rs: Parser for .zom configuration files
• src/tensor.rs: Tensor operations for machine learning

Examples

Here's a simple PUT program:

var x = (42 + 5) * 2 - 3 / 1.5;

Tensor operations:

let t1 = Tensor::new(vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0], vec![2, 2]);
let t2 = Tensor::new(vec![5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0], vec![2, 2]);
let t3 = &t1 + &t2;

Testing

Run the test suite with:

cargo test

Future Plans

• Implement more tensor operations (subtraction, multiplication, division)
• Add support for machine learning algorithms (linear regression, neural networks)
• Enhance language syntax for ML-specific operations
• Implement a REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) for interactive use
• Add GPU acceleration for tensor operations
