$ ./morel morel version 0.1.0 (java version "11.0.4", JLine terminal, xterm-256color) = "Hello, world!"; val it = "Hello, world!" : string = exit $
Documentation
- Morel language reference
- "How to" guide
- Change log
- Reading test reference logs can be instructive; try, for example, relational.sml.out
Status
Implemented:
- Literals
- Variables
- Comments (
(* block *)
and(*) line
) -

(expression that lets you define local variables and functions) -
val
(includingval rec
) -

(declare function) - Operators:

- Built-in constants and functions:

- Type derivation
-
fn

- Primitive, list, tuple and record types
- Type variables (polymorphism) (except in

- Patterns (destructuring) in

- Operators:

- User-defined operators (

Bugs:
- The
@
infix operator to concatenate lists is currently namedat
and is prefix; - Built-in operators do not use the
option
type; - Prevent user from overriding built-in constants and functions:
true
,false
,nil
,ref
,it
,::
; they should not be reserved - Access parameters and variables by offset into a fixed-size array; currently we address them by name, in a map that is copied far too often
- Runtime should throw when divide by zero
- Validator should give good user error when it cannot type an expression
Extensions
Morel has a few extensions to Standard ML: postfix labels, implicit labels in record expressions, and relational extensions. Postfix labels and implicit labels are intended to make relational expressions more concise and more similar to SQL but they can be used anywhere in Morel, not just in relational expressions.
Postfix labels
Morel allows '.' for field references. Thus e.deptno
is equivalent to #deptno e
.
(Postfix labels are implemented as syntactic sugar; both expressions become an application of label #deptno
to expression e
.)
Because '.' is left-associative, it is a more convenient syntax for chained references. In the standard syntax, e.address.zipcode
would be written #zipcode (#address e)
.
Implicit labels in record expressions
In standard ML, a record expression is of the form {label1 = exp1, label2 = exp2, ...}
; in Morel, you can omit label =
if the expression is an identifier, label application, or field reference.
Thus
{#deptno e, e.name, d}
is short-hand for
{deptno = #deptno e, name = e.name, d = d}
Relational extensions
The from
expression (and associated in
, where
and yield
keywords) is a language extension to support relational algebra. It iterates over a list and generates another list.
In a sense, from
is syntactic sugar. For example, given emps
and depts
, relations defined as lists of records as follows
val emps = [{id = 100, name = "Fred", deptno = 10}, {id = 101, name = "Velma", deptno = 20}, {id = 102, name = "Shaggy", deptno = 30}; {id = 103, name = "Scooby", deptno = 30}]; val depts = [{deptno = 10, name = "Sales"}, {deptno = 20, name = "Marketing"}, {deptno = 30, name = "Engineering"}, {deptno = 40, name = "Support"}];
the expression
from e in emps where e.deptno = 30 yield e.id
is equivalent to standard ML
map (fn e => (#id e)) (filter (fn e => (#deptno e) = 30) emps)
with the where
and yield
clauses emulating the filter
and map
higher-order functions without the need for lambdas ( fn
).
Relational expressions are an experiment bringing the features of query languages such as SQL into a functional language. We believe that a little syntactic sugar, backed by a relational query planner, makes ML into a powerful and convenient tool for querying large data sets. Conversely, we want to see how SQL would look if it supported lambdas, function-values, polymorphism, pattern-matching, and removed the syntactic distinction between tables and collection-valued columns.
You can iterate over more than one collection, and therefore generate a join or a cartesian product:
from e in emps, d in depts where e.deptno = d.deptno yield {e.id, e.deptno, ename = e.name, dname = d.name};
As in any ML expression, you can define functions within a from
expression, and those functions can operate on lists. Thus we can implement equivalents of SQL's IN
and EXISTS
operators:
let fun in_ e [] = false | in_ e (h :: t) = e = h orelse (in_ e t) in from e in emps where in_ e.deptno (from d in depts where d.name = "Engineering" yield d.deptno) yield e.name end let fun exists [] = false | exists hd :: tl = true in from e in emps where exists (from d in depts where d.deptno = e.deptno andalso d.name = "Engineering") yield e.name end
In the second query, note that the sub-query inside the exists
is correlated (references the e
variable from the enclosing query) and skips the yield
clause (because it doesn't matter which columns the sub-query returns, just whether it returns any rows).
