Language Guide

These pages cover the language proper: how Omega text is read, what kinds of values exist, how functions and macros are defined and called, how evaluation proceeds, and how modules organize code.

Pages

• Syntax — s-expressions, the reader, vectors, characters, keywords.
• Values — the Val union: numbers, lists, closures, distributions, machines, contexts, and friends.
• Functions — define, lambda, rest args, closures.
• Macros — register-macro, hygiene, semantic transformers.
• Evaluation — special forms, the eval order, effect protocol.
• Modules — define-package, require, provide, sealed modules, capabilities.
