Module System For Pickle Interpreter

This project is a work in progress. It is in pre-alpha at the moment so should not be counted on to actually do anything useful.

This is a module system for the Pickle Interpreter, which is an interpreter for a TCL like language derived from an interpreter made by Antirez called 'picol'. The interpreter itself is licensed under the BSD license, everything in this repository (unless noted elsewhere) is licensed under the Unlicense.

The interpreter is available at: https://github.com/howerj/pickle.

To Do

• Manual pages and documentation.
• Make a build system using Make that would use git to pull down and update sub-modules automatically.
• Add targets to make and install the shell and modules, these are the 'dist' and 'install' makefile targets.
• Write wrappers for all of the modules that are pulled in.
• Figure a way to reuse the code in the original 'main.c' file, perhaps by setting some macros that would allow code to be run before and after the interpreter is run.

Add modules for:

• HTTP https://github.com/howerj/httpc
• CDB https://github.com/howerj/cdb
• UTF-8 https://github.com/howerj/utf8
• Shrink https://github.com/howerj/shrink
• Base64, JSON, Operating System Stuff...
• A module-module for manipulating the modules, load, unloading them, and perhaps even dynamically loading at run time.
• Linenoise for CLI command completion https://github.com/arangodb/linenoise-ng
• Add a library for manipulating ANSI terminal escape sequences, this could be done in TCL, which may make the linenoise library redundant if a few C functions were added (such as 'isatty' and 'getch').
