Generally speaking if you abstract away from the visual part, WebSharper applications are not so different from usual F# libraries. Knowing this fact we can make our life much easier, and we can get away with simply: creating and testing basic components as a part of console application and later converting them to a WebSharper library. So, shall we begin?

Our little Scheme (an actual subset of real Scheme) interpreter will consist of three parts:

  • Lexer - transforms source text (sequence of chars) into a sequence of tokens
  • Parser - produces language expressions based on a given token stream
  • Runtime – generic name for the remaining part, that includes an execution engine and a standard library (in our case few builtin functions)

As I already mentioned, all these pieces are UI agnostic so they can be put into separate assembly that will be referenced from both the test console host and the front end WebSharper application.

Lexer comes first. Step 1: define Token type and implement lexical analyzer:

  • For simplicity our implementation will support only integers (floats are out of the boat for now)
  • Lexer results are slightly more than just conversion from chars to tokens, final sequence is already folded on brackets (lists are represented not as sequence of tokens like LEFT_BRACKET, NUMBER...RIGHT_BRACKET, but as one token List containing nested tokens with brackets omitted).
  • getTokens internally consists of several smaller functions: getList repeatadly reads a sequence of tokens containing within '(' and ')' and getToken tries to read next the token. If this attempt is successful - it returns the token and the remaining part of the stream.

Watch the doors, next stop: parser. With pattern matching its creation becomes a straightforward task:

  • Bool, Number and String corresponds to literals found in source text
  • List contains values wrapped in a quoted list in the source such as '(...)
  • Apply denotes function application. First parameter should be a function, second - list of arguments
  • If - simple if-then expression with optional 'else' part
  • Cond - similar to if-elseif-elseif-else expression where 'else' can be omitted
  • Assign - corresponds to a 'setq' expression: it evaluates the value and stores it in the environment under the given name
  • Var - references a variable within the environment
  • Let and LetRec contains list of pairs (bindings from name to value) and body. Bindings are evaluated and stored in a newly created environment. Afterwards this environment is used to evaluate the body. Difference between let and letrec lies in fact that letrec bindings can be recursively defined (refer to themselves in their definition).
  • Sequence - just a list of expressions
  • CallCC - Special higher-order magic: argument should be procedure with one parameter. Runtime will evaluate this procedure with a current continuation as a parameter value

Final step: runtime. It is basically the heart of our implementation and thus I'd like to devote slightly more attention to this stage.

The execution environment will be represented as list of Frames, every frame stores its own set of values. Name lookup is performed in a hierarchical manner: if name is not found in a child frame -> try search in parent.

Programming in Scheme heavily relies on recursion, but unfortunately our target platform (JavaScript) doesn't support optimization of tail calls. As a solution we can utilize 'trampolines' - a technique when every step returns delayed next step, so recursion is automagically converted to using loops. Main characters:

  • Step – a function that returns the next Step as its evaluation result.
  • Cont - represents the computation process at given point
  • Function - function representation, accepts argument values and continuation to proceed with execution.

    type Step = Step of (unit -> Step) option // None - stop 
    type Cont = obj -> Step
    type Function = obj list -> Cont -> Step

This is top level evaluation loop. Here we start the evaluation of some specified expression with respect to the given environment. finalCont will receive final result of computation and store it in a local variable.

        let ok = ref true
        let finalCont = fun o -> result := o; Step None
        
        let step = ref (evaluateExpression expr env finalCont)
        
        while !ok do
            let (Step s) = !step
            match s with
            | Some f -> // has next step
                step := f()
            | None ->   // completed!
                ok := false
        !result

Let's examine the computation process on the sample of a simple (+) function. In an ideal world the expression x + y (where x and y can be complex expressions themselves) will be transformed to the following sequence of continuations:

1
2
3
4
5
let rec eval (e : Expression) (k : Continuation) = ...
// finalCont - continuation that will accept the result
eval a (fun valueOfA -> 
    eval b (fun valueOfB -> 
        finalCont (valueOfA + valueOfB)))

This will work in F# but not in JavaScript (due to lack of tail call optimization). So instead of running subsequent computations in continuations we'll delay evaluation by wrapping them in thunks.

1
2
3
4
5
let thunk f = ... something that wraps f with fun () -(fun () -> f())

eval a (fun valueOfA -> // k1
    thunk(fun () -> eval b (fun valueOfB -> // k2 
        thunk(fun () -> finalCont (valueOfA + valueOfB)))))

Now result of every continuation will not be the value itself but rather a function that returns value. This is how the trampoline works: first you jump (by calling the eval a -> forward to continuation k1) then you land (because k1 returns delayed computation). The evaluation loop makes one more iteration and you jump and land again (running eval b -> continuation k2 -> delayed computation). We repeat this process until evaluation is completed. Everything works nicely but explicit managing of continuation looks awful from the internal sense of constructive laziness – too much manual work. Can we do something to make continuation passing ambient? Surely yes! Computation expressions to the rescue.

That's all folks, now time to test our creation:

Now we have a working implementation, what should be done with it to make it accessible in a WebSharper web application

  • Add a reference to the IntelliFactory.WebSharper assembly
  • Annotate assembly with the WebSharper attribute

    open System.Runtime.CompilerServices
    
    [<assembly:IntelliFactory.WebSharper.WebSharper>]
    do()
  • Put [<IntelliFactory.WebSharper.JavaScriptAttribute>] and [<IntelliFactory.WebSharper.JavaScriptTypeAttribute>] to all functions and types in our library
  • Make some coffee, everything else is taken care of.

Main part is done but we still need a fancy front end: syntax highlighting and so on. CodeMirror library already includes syntax highlighter for Scheme, we just need to plug it in. So add a WebSharper project to our solution, remove basic WebSharper sample code and perform a few magical passes:

        Table [Width "100%"; Border "0.8"] -<

            TR [TD [evaluate; clear] ]
            TR [Height "200px"] -< [TD [result] ]
