Zis : a Zig-Inspired Scripting Language (idea)

These are notes for a Zig-inspired strongly-typed GC language, taking some aspects from Python, and retaining some smiilar simplicity as promised by Go.

Zig brings so several great ideas to the table, but a variant of its apporoach for application-space would be very welcome, so it would provide a similar experience to Zig with many of its characteristics:

• error unions
• optionals
• defer
• block scopes

""" Utility to behave like "tee"

Similar to the system "tee" program, attempts to write the same output to two different channels
In this present case, attempts to write to stdout/stderr , as well as retain for retrieval as string.

To do this, we wrap the pipe, direct the system pipe to write data to an interim temp file, and we read
 that file content back into memory and write it through to the wrapped pipe ourselves.

Periodic Operations

A sched.scheduler wrapper to run continuously as a "service", to queue up one-time operations.

A PeriodicOperation based on native threading.Timer, runs as a "service".

Both can be stopped.

Timer could have been used in lieu of the scheduler, but the latter stands to have more precision.

Roll Fate

This is a quick script to see the chances of outcome of rolling Fudge/FATE dice against opposition.

Mainly, I am interested in rolling at Good skill against Good opposition , and seeing what happens.

Adding a +1 skill modifier is akin to being +1 shift above the Good opposition (skill Great).

• -2 and below is abject failure
• -1 is failure

OPERATIONS = {

    "!starts": lambda value, data: not data.startswith(value),

    "ends": lambda value, data: data.endswith(value),

Mocker

A versatile object mocking utility for unit testing.

For example, assuming a function that uses a connection utility:

def find_python_files_at(connection):
  try:
 status, stdout, stderr = connection.send_command("ls /my/path", shell=True)

DictNamespace

A basic namespacing utility to provide "nicer" code.

It's a small snippet for a minor quality-of-life utility.

ns = DictNamesspace(a=1, b="hello")
assert ns.a == 1
assert ns.b == "hello"
