Apple Array System

Some cases are not implemented. This is provided as an artefact.

See Apple by Example for a demonstration of capabilities.

The compiler will bail out with arcane error messages rather than produce an incorrect result, except that the Python/R extension modules do not enforce type safety and thus may mysteriously segfault or produce unpredictable corrupt results.

Spilling (during register allocation) is not implemented for Arm. Also floating-point registers aren't spilled on x86.

Compiler-As-a-Library

Rather than an environment-based interpreter or a compiler invoked on the command line and generating object files, one calls a library function which returns assembly or machine code from a source string.

Thus the same implementation can be used interpreted, compiled, or called from another language.

 > [((+)/x)%ℝ(:x)]\`7 (frange 1 10 10)
Arr (4) [4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0]
>>> import apple
>>> import numpy as np
>>> sliding_mean=apple.jit('([((+)/x)%(ℝ(:x))]\`7)')
>>> sliding_mean(np.arange(0,10,dtype=np.float64))
array([3., 4., 5., 6.])
repl:1:> (import apple)
@{_ @{:value <cycle 0>} apple/jit @{:private true} apple/tyof @{:private true}}
repl:2:> (def sliding-mean (apple/jit ``([((+)/x)%ℝ(:x)]\`7)``))
<jit Vec (i + 7) floatVec i float>
repl:3:> (sliding-mean @[0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0])
@[3 4 5 6 7]
> source("R/apple.R")
> sliding_mean<-jit("([((+)/x)%ℝ(:x)]\\`7)")
> run(sliding_mean,seq(0,10,1.0))
[1] 3 4 5 6 7

The JIT'ed moving average in Apple happens to be faster than the rolling mean from the zoo package.

Dimension As a Functor

This is based on J (and APL?). Looping is replaced by functoriality (rerank).

To supply a zero-cells (scalars) as the first argument to (cons) and 1-cells as the second:

(⊲)`{0,1}

We can further specify that the cells should be selected along some axis, e.g. to get vector-matrix multiplication:

λA.λx.
{
  dot ⇐ [(+)/(*)`x y];
  (dot x)`{1∘[2]} (A::Arr (i`Cons`j`Cons`Nil) float)
}

The 2 means "iterate over the second axis" i.e. columns.

Installation

Use ghcup to install cabal and GHC. Then:

make install

to install arepl (the REPL).

Run

make
sudo make install-lib

To install the shared library (requires jq).

Python

To install the Python module:

make install-py

R

Install libappler.so on your system like so:

make -C Rc
sudo make install-r

Then:

source("R/apple.R")

to access the functions.

Janet

Uses jpm.

make -C janet install
