2022-11-14: Fuzion November Update

Hi,

Here is this month's update:

Big news in October was an important addition to our team: Max Teufel joined Tokiwa Software GmbH as a full-time developer to work on Fuzion with a focus on the base library.

Loads of changes under the hood, so little visible on the surface:

• Fuzion language
  • Syntax improvements in .type and .env expressions.
• base library
  • added more effects to io.file.
  • added bit-wise-not operation prefix ~ to wrappingInteger.
  • started changing names to use snake_case and Capitals for ref features.
• fz tool
  • Arguments following main feature are now passed to Fuzion code via the envir.args effect.
  • new option -moduleDir to specify where to load modules from.
• Fuzion idioms
  • implemented idioms 64, 120, 125, 132, 232, 233, 250, 263, 274.

Cheers,

--Fridtjof.
