Support for external ATS code in Pure

[gmhwxi]

Pure-0.63 was released yesterday:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/pure-lang/grNVDlp49rY

There is now support in Pure for direct use of ATS external code. Here is an example:

I essentially modified a similar one by Barry Schwartz.

Cheers!

Is the idea that the main code is written in pure, calling into functions written in ATS? And what sort of data structures can be passed or shared between the two?

I started to learn a bit Pure yesterday.
So I have only had very little exposure to Pure so far.

For now, I see that Pure can be used to write scripts for testing ATS code.

>>And what sort of data structures can be passed or shared between the two?

This is what I am trying to find out :)

It does look very interesting :)

Pure is good at dealing with one-dimensional and two-dimensional
arrays of C or Fortran numbers.

Also it has linked lists.

So my idea on behalf of the Pure community was to write an example of
ATS to do a safer (within the ATS parts) sort for Pure lists, and some
numeric algorithm working on matrices (such as gaussian elimination).

However, being both physically disabled and prone to compulsive
diversions from the task at hand (think Mister Monk), I never make
firm promises.
