JSLT v0.1.6 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-01-28 // about 5 years ago
  • Some language improvements:

    • it used to be impossible to declare global variables in modules and then refer to them from functions. This now works.
    • JSLT now forbids object literals that contain the same key twice.
    • JSLT now depends on Jackson 2.9.8.

    One function has been added:

    • mod(a, b) to compute a modulo b. (Thank you to @ecerulm for work on this!)

    ⚡️ This version has been optimized in several ways:

    • ⚡️ variables that are used only once, or that have constant values, are now optimized away completely
    • operations involving two literals are now performed at compile-time,
    • the internal representation of variables is now much faster, and
    • ⚡️ if b in contains(a, b) is a large array literal, the optimizer now replaces this with a hashset lookup, instead of doing a linear search.
