# Free Form Programming

Structures and design motivations of Free Form Programming Language.

# Why???

### A Very Simple Idea
Create a programming language that in one sentence it is part algebraic or programming language like and part loose spoken phrases. We called these Free Form expressions or simply Free Form.

Rather immediately it became obvious such languages cannot possess the classical grammars found in commercial programming languages. Moreover, such languages ought to have myriad of grammars or else it would nearly be impossible to deliver a working simple prototype. 

We called these ensembles of grammars <b>The Grammarian</b>.

## <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">Synopsis </span>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">Path variables are based upon the file paths “/../../..” and “../../..” string formats. </span>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In Free Form Programming Language Path variable is of two kinds:</span>

1. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">“mesh/value”: </span>**local**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> to the current program, no starting “/”</span>
2. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">“/student/dara/script1/mesh/uvcoors” : </span>**external**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> program thus the path starts with “/”</span>

**Specification**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>

1. **Atomic path variable**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">: “/group/user/script/var”</span>
2. **Composite Path variable**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">: “/group/user/script/var/value”</span>
3. **Keys**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">:“/group/user/script/var/value/key”</span>

**Key**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> is the identifier or the name of something that consumes computing resources to exist. The latter something is called </span>**Value**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> as in value for the key. “mesh” is a Key and “mesh/normals” is the Value, note that “mesh” consumes almost 0 computing but to compute the normals of a surface consumes substantial quantities of computing resources e.g. CPU, memory, network bandwidth and of course </span>**recurring consumption**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> of resources e.g. GPU to render the mesh as a graphical object 30 frames a second on demand! </span>

- <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">Both local and external path variables are indeed URL based and stored in network cloud objects </span>
- <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The file path address format is familiar to every grammar school student and therefore was selected as the customary way to address variables in complex and distributed structures</span>
- <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">The said complex structures might expand beyond the current program and into many other programs to share their local variables </span>
- <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Indeed a newbie to Free Form Programming Language can immediately access and use Path variables constructed by other programs before</span>
- <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Note that by default all variable values are automatically Serialized and if exceed certain water marks then compressed. Compression is one of the best forms of Serialization</span>
- <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The Path variables are by default available to all third party programming languages, and always in standard simplest JSON form</span>

**http: and https: paths**

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">⚠️ </span>**The Free Form Grammarian leaves the http paths unprocessed**. They are copied and passed to operators and functions as constant strings with no further interpretations and no further processing**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">In Free Form Programming Language ‘s is called option as in var’s value as an option of var. Options ‘s made passing a long list of initialized variables to a function much more compact and easier to remember and manage. </span>

## <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">Synopsis </span>

- <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">Generally speaking the operation of the operator = in most programming languages is to copy the value/address from the rhs expression to the lhs variable. The said value is singleton and multiple copied values require multiple usage of = operator. </span>

- <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">In commercial programming languages the operator = has merely the lifespan of a program execution session or scope of a function. Upon termination of the program or the return of the function no residues of the = operations remain. </span>

**=**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> operator in Free Form language operates on its operands according to the following:</span>

1. **To copy from rhs to lhs is optional for =**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> . Such a specific rhs copy to lhs is adequate for algebraic or math like procedures e.g. num = cos\[x\]; num is understood to be a single value and cos\[ \] single-value function. </span>
2. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">= copies certain interim computations in its expression into one or multiple separate </span>**Persistent Cloud Objects**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> as opposed to simply copying the rhs to lhs, </span>**since both the lhs and rhs are Free to be spread over multiple cloud systems**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">! </span>
3. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">For large geometric objects their values are first Serialized and then copied over the network since the local programming space and its memory quota could be limited and often it is more efficient to spread the computing amongst as many cloud objects as possible. </span>
4. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">Once the program exits and the session ceases, the operator = can still operate on its operands by a number of other processes and processors which will be detailed later. </span>
5. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">💡Automated compression performed on variables whose content exceeds a certain watermark on byte size. </span>
6. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">💡For many variables the compression has been used to Serialize the content. As it turned out the standard </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">compression algorithms are perfect as Serializers</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> for difficult binary variable values. </span>

## <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">Evaluation </span>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">The main evaluator for the composite expressions of the form </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);">a = expr;</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> where the rhs is any customary combinations of operators and functions and variables and constants, is called CCNffEqualExpr\[ \] which includes number of processors in its body (+130 grammars/evaluators):</span>

1. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Each processor is a separate cloud object which deposits its scripts and data into the Evaluator</span>
2. **The level-0 String Rewriting**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> occurs where the Free Form language functions and operators are replaced/rewritten by the actual internal functions available to the evaluator</span>
3. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">At the top of the body it parses and evaluates the double quote strings </span><span style="color: rgb(221, 17, 68); background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);">"ellipse"</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> and double-double quotes </span><span style="color: rgb(221, 17, 68); background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);">"\\"ellipse\\""</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> and </span><span style="color: rgb(221, 17, 68); background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);">"http…"</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;"> strings. Those evaluated are added to the program memory subsystem thus accessible by GetSortedVars\[ \] cloud function and the rest of the body of the evaluator is bypassed and finally exit. Those strings and double-double quote strings continue with the evaluator for further processing </span>
4. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">The evaluator also processes string structures which contain grammatical Fee Form expressions e.g. </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); white-space: pre-wrap;">c = circle of radius </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 153); background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);">2</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);">.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 153); background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);">01</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); white-space: pre-wrap;"> at center = {x0,y0,z0};</span>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">The said processors, one after the other, in a smart and applicable sequence of grammar parsers evaluate this string to dismiss or process to transform to a new expression or string acceptable to the Free Form Grammarian. These are in part considered as string or term rewriting operations. </span>

5. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">At strategic locations the evaluator parses the latest version of the parsed expression and isolates symbols. </span>
6. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">While parsing certain functions and operators are placed in Hold or Inactive states</span>
7. **The level-1 String Rewriting**<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">: finally once all the grammars and parsers and processors are exhausted a repeated string replacement loop runs and until there will be no more string replacements possible. At such an ending the Hold states are released and the held expressions, now re-written, are evaluated one last time. </span>
8. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">One last time the completed parsed expressions are scanned for symbols </span>
9. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">Any individual variables with values are added to the Free Form memory subsystems </span>
10. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Applicable Path variables are constructed and made available to the GetSortedVars\[ \] cloud function</span>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Yet in most commercial programming languages this statement returns an error stating that the numeral 5 cannot be reset in value. Indeed in mathematics the = operator is considered commutative in the sense a=b ⟺ b=a .</span>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap;">The Free Form programming language allows without any warnings or anomalies the number 5 set equal to any expression e.g. a trig expression in this case! Therefore, afterwards anywhere in the code the string “(5)” will be replaced by the string “sin\[x+pi/6\]” ! This was conceived to allow for de novo indexing functions and it is hoped that this feature will be released soon. </span>
