Recently I released version 0.5 of my fork of pre-existed Hope interpreter (classical functional programming language) named “Hopeless”:

  • added ‘\r’ to function “isspace” in ctype.hop
  • fixed function “dir” in system_win.hop
  • path to libraries changed to /usr/local/share/hopeless
  • created man file hopeless.1 (modified hope.1)
  • fixed “make install” for Hopeless
  • new library lib/db_sqlite.hop (database support with sqlite3)
  • added functions “del” and “write_to” to lib/system.hop
  • check for ‘\n’ and ‘\r’ before run commands (“!…”)
  • defined constant “stdin” instead of functions “getc” and “gets” (lib/system.hop)
  • modified test _input.hop

Source code: hopeless-v0.5.tar.bz2 (100K)
For more info see www.hopelog.com where you can find all previous versions of Hopeless plus Win32 binaries.

    Hi Shaos,

    Thanks very much for making hopeless. Hope has always been my favourite
    language. I learned it first whnen doing a PhD in Imperial College in 1980!
    I am now going to teach it to my students at Goldsmiths College, University
    of London.

    I use Linux myself but my students use windoze.

    How do we do they equivalent of:
    hope < test.hop
    in the windows version?

    ie. how do we run a file?

    Thanks for your interest to my fork of Hope implementation of Ross Paterson.
    In Windows you can run the same command as in Linux from command line:
    hopeless -f program.hop
    Check bat-files from windows version
