The new #morloc getter and setter patterns are the most radical of the new changes in v0.57.1. They offer a succinct syntax for generating functions that access or update data. They replace the many little helper functions #morloc previously required. Here are a few examples:

*multi-line strings* allow triple-quotes to enclose strings that span multiple lines and automatically trims whitespace. See example below where the trimmed whitespace is highlighted:

*string interpolation* allows #morloc expressions to be substituted into strings. Currently the behavior is quite minimal and works only for expressions that evaluate to strings. In the future more formatting options will be added.

*placeholder syntax* allows expressions with underscores to be translated into lambas expression. For example:

Releasing #morloc v0.55.1! Many bug fixes and a whole new module system. Also, here's one test suite running in three languages:

Now, as per @j23414.bsky.social suggestion, the #morloc installer asks permission before altering paths and places them in the ~/.morloc/bin directory.

#morloc now has an install script that streamlines container installation, container selection (podman or docker), morloc home setup, and executable generation. See the GitHub repo (github.com/morloc-proje...) and the manual (morloc-project.github.io/docs/#_insta...).

To update, Tree-sitter grammar is now fully working. All code in the #morloc test suite passes the grammar without error.

Feast your eyes on this colorful code and sexy tree:

The Morloc code for this is as follows:

Composable command line interface tools with #morloc!

Almost got the #Treesitter grammar working!

Just needs a little cleaning and testing. Next I can do a little PR to GitHub and then will finally have colors in my repo code. This also can be used in editors like Zed and Neovim.

#Morloc #VSCode extension is alive!

Thanks to @j23414.bsky.social for helping with the setup!
