Mochi Sprint at EuroPython 2015

Mochi is a new functional language that is written in Python 3 and compiles down to Python 3. It provides interesting functional feature while keeping two-way compatability with Python 3 (CPython and PyPy). There was a talk about Mochi at EuroPython 2015. The talk slides and the video (start at 2:20:30) give more details.

Potential Sprint Topics

Documentation

  • Start documentation for syntax
  • Start documentation for builtin functions
  • Create a tutorial
  • Create a simple sample application written in Mochi

Language Features

  • Support for Python 3.5
  • Replace a part of the builtin functions with toolz/cytoolz or a similar module (This may reduce documentation cost for builtin functions.)

Testing

IPython Notebook Kernel

  • Fix stderr (should go to notebook to not only to console)

  • Include kernel source into Mochi source
  • Add support for magic functions
  • Add call tips and help with "?"
