Instead of constantly making these updates, let's just remove the year
since things are stored in git anyways, and this is not an actual modern
legal risk anymore.
With the recent merging of embedded package imports and the entry CLI
package, it is now possible for users to build in mcl code into a single
binary. This additional permission makes it explicitly clear that this
is permitted to make it easier for those users. The condition is phrased
so that the terms can be "patched" by the original author if it's
necessary for the project. For example, if the name of the language
(mcl) changes, has a differently named new version, someone finds a
phrasing improvement or a legal loophole, or for some other
reasonable circumstance. Now go write some beautiful embedded tools!
This removes the `Close() error` and replaces it with a more modern
Stream API that takes a context. This removes boilerplate and makes
integration with concurrent code easier. The only downside is that there
isn't an explicit cleanup step, but only one function was even using
that and it was possible to switch it to a defer in Stream.
This also renames the functions from polyfunc to just func which we
determine by API not naming.
This adds the requirement that all function implementations provider a
String() string method so that these can be used as vertices in the
pgraph library. If we eventually move to generics for the pgraph DAG,
then this might not matter, but it's not bad that these have names
either.
In case something in the type unification tries to speculatively call
Info before it's ready to produce a valid sig, make sure we only return
a definitive answer (non-nil, and no variant types) once we've
conclusively finished defining the signature.
This is an initial implementation of the mgmt language. It is a
declarative (immutable) functional, reactive, domain specific
programming language. It is intended to be a language that is:
* safe
* powerful
* easy to reason about
With these properties, we hope this language, and the mgmt engine will
allow you to model the real-time systems that you'd like to automate.
This also includes a number of other associated changes. Sorry for the
large size of this patch.
