+ # Prometheus
28
+
29
+ **A programming language in which entire classes of software failure are unrepresentable.**
30
+
31
+ Prometheus is designed around a small number of load-bearing ideas, each chosen
32
+ because it *deletes a category of bugs* rather than merely discouraging it:
33
+
34
+ | Failure class | Why it cannot happen in Prometheus |
35
+ |---|---|
36
+ | Memory corruption, dangling pointers, leaks | Pure value semantics: no observable aliasing, no manual memory, no `null` |
37
+ | Data races, deadlocks | No shared mutable state exists; `par` is deterministic by the confluence theorem for pure reductions |
38
+ | Hidden side effects, supply-chain "phone home" | Object-capability model: effects require an unforgeable capability **value**; a function's signature proves what it can touch |
39
+ | Missing-case bugs | Pattern matches are checked for totality at compile time |
40
+ | `null` / undefined | `Option(a)` is an ordinary library type; partial operations return it |
41
+ | Untested code paths | `check` — executable specifications — are a language construct, run by `prom test`, and double as documentation |
42
+ | Stale documentation | `intent` metadata is attached to definitions, machine-readable, and emitted by `prom doc` together with *inferred* types |
43
+ | Type annotation busywork | Full Hindley–Milner-style inference; annotations are optional and checked when present |
44
+
45
+ **Status: v0.2 "Kindling" — usable for real programs.** Modules, Result-based
46
+ error handling, maps, program arguments, six capabilities, editor support,
47
+ and a browser playground — all implemented and tested. The design documents
48
+ describe the full system; see [Implementation status](#implementation-status)
49
+ for the honest line between built and planned.
50
+
51
+ **Try it without installing anything: the
52
+ [browser playground](docs/playground/index.html) runs the real toolchain via
53
+ WebAssembly** (serve `docs/` with GitHub Pages, or open locally with
54
+ `python3 -m http.server` from the repo root and visit
55
+ `localhost:8000/docs/playground/`).
56
+
57
+ ## Quickstart
58
+
59
+ No dependencies beyond Python ≥ 3.10:
60
+
61
+ ```console
62
+ $ ./prom run examples/hello.prom
63
+ Hello, world!
64
+
65
+ $ ./prom check examples/shapes.prom # parse + infer + verify
66
+ area : (Shape) -> Float
67
+ total_area : (List(Shape)) -> Float
68
+ ...
69
+
70
+ $ ./prom test examples/shapes.prom # run executable specifications
71
+ checks: 3 passed, 0 failed
72
+
73
+ $ ./prom doc examples/shapes.prom # docs from intents + inferred types
74
+ $ ./prom repl # interactive session
75
+
76
+ $ ./prom run examples/todo/main.prom add "learn prometheus" # args + modules
77
+ added: learn prometheus
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ New to the language? Start with the [tutorial](docs/tutorial.md), then the
81
+ [tour](docs/tour.md). VS Code highlighting lives in
82
+ [editors/vscode](editors/vscode/).
83
+
84
+ ## Thirty seconds of Prometheus
85
+
86
+ ```
87
+ type Shape =
88
+ Circle(Float)
89
+ Rect(Float, Float)
90
+
91
+ intent "The area of a shape."
92
+ area(s: Shape): Float =
93
+ match s # must cover every constructor — checked
94
+ Circle(r) -> 3.14159 * r * r
95
+ Rect(w, h) -> w * h
96
+
97
+ check area(Rect(3.0, 4.0)) == 12.0 # executable spec, run by `prom test`
98
+
99
+ main(io) = # io is a capability: the only key to the outside world
100
+ par # deterministic parallelism — pure by construction
101
+ a = total_area([Circle(1.0), Rect(2.0, 3.0)])
102
+ b = sum(range(1, 1001))
103
+ print(io, "area {a}, sum {b}")
104
+
105
+ total_area(shapes) =
106
+ shapes |> map(area) |> fold(0.0, (acc, x) -> acc + x)
107
+ ```
108
+
109
+ Things to notice:
110
+
111
+ - **No annotation is required anywhere** — `total_area : (List(Shape)) -> Float`
112
+ is inferred. Annotations, when written, are verified claims, not instructions.
113
+ - **`main` receives its authority.** Nothing else in the program can perform
114
+ I/O, because nothing else holds the `io` capability and capabilities are
115
+ unforgeable (opaque types with no constructor).
116
+ - **`par` cannot introduce a race.** Its bindings must be pure; the runtime
117
+ enforces it and the semantics are provably order-independent.
118
+ - **The prelude is written in Prometheus** ([src/prom/stdlib/prelude.prom](src/prom/stdlib/prelude.prom))
119
+ and carries its own intents and checks — the standard library is its own
120
+ specification and test suite.

162
+ ## Implementation status
163
+
164
+ Implemented and tested today (bootstrap interpreter):
165
+
166
+ - layout syntax, string interpolation, pipelines (`|>`), lambdas, records
167
+ - algebraic data types with type parameters; total pattern matching
168
+ - Hindley–Milner-style inference with numeric defaulting and helpful
169
+ diagnostics (source spans, carets, "did you mean", `--json` output)
170
+ - **modules** (`use`): qualified values, shared types/constructors,
171
+ cross-file totality checking, cycle detection
172
+ - capability-gated effects (`Io`, `Fs`, `Clock`, `Env`, `Net`, `Rand`) —
173
+ purity visible in types; `main` typed by grant name; `args` support
174
+ - **Result-based error handling** — fallible builtins return `Result`
175
+ - `Map(k, v)`, text/parsing/sorting builtins, `Pair`/`zip` in the prelude
176
+ - deterministic `par` with runtime purity enforcement
177
+ - `check` executable specs, `intent` metadata, doc generation, REPL
178
+ - browser playground running the real toolchain (Pyodide)
179
+
180
+ Designed, not yet implemented (see [docs/roadmap.md](docs/roadmap.md) for the
181
+ plan and [docs/philosophy.md](docs/philosophy.md) for the honesty policy):
182
+ property checks, formatter, LSP server, content-addressed packages,
183
+ processes/channels, native code generation.
184
+
185
+ **A note on the name:** "Prometheus" collides with the ubiquitous
186
+ monitoring system, which will hurt search discoverability if this goes
187
+ wide. Renaming is cheap now and expensive later; the toolchain is isolated
188
+ behind the `prom` command and one package name if a rename is chosen.

+ and a browser playground — all implemented and tested. The design documents
22
+ describe the full system; see [Implementation status](#implementation-status)
23
+ for the honest line between built and planned.
24
+
25
+ **Try it without installing anything: the
26
+ [browser playground](docs/playground/index.html) runs the real toolchain via
27
+ WebAssembly** (serve `docs/` with GitHub Pages, or open locally with
28
+ `python3 -m http.server` from the repo root and visit
29
+ `localhost:8000/docs/playground/`).
30
+
31
+ ## Quickstart
32
+
33
+ No dependencies beyond Python ≥ 3.10:
34
+
35
+ ```console
36
+ $ ./prom run examples/hello.prom
37
+ Hello, world!
38
+
39
+ $ ./prom check examples/shapes.prom # parse + infer + verify
40
+ area : (Shape) -> Float
41
+ total_area : (List(Shape)) -> Float
42
+ ...
43
+
44
+ $ ./prom test examples/shapes.prom # run executable specifications
45
+ checks: 3 passed, 0 failed
46
+
47
+ $ ./prom doc examples/shapes.prom # docs from intents + inferred types
48
+ $ ./prom repl # interactive session
49
+
50
+ $ ./prom run examples/todo/main.prom add "learn prometheus" # args + modules
51
+ added: learn prometheus
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ New to the language? Start with the [tutorial](docs/tutorial.md), then the
55
+ [tour](docs/tour.md). VS Code highlighting lives in
56
+ [editors/vscode](editors/vscode/).
57
+
58
+ ## Thirty seconds of Prometheus
59
+
60
+ ```
61
+ type Shape =
62
+ Circle(Float)
63
+ Rect(Float, Float)
64
+
65
+ intent "The area of a shape."
66
+ area(s: Shape): Float =
67
+ match s # must cover every constructor — checked
68
+ Circle(r) -> 3.14159 * r * r
69
+ Rect(w, h) -> w * h
70
+
71
+ check area(Rect(3.0, 4.0)) == 12.0 # executable spec, run by `prom test`
72
+
73
+ main(io) = # io is a capability: the only key to the outside world
74
+ par # deterministic parallelism — pure by construction
75
+ a = total_area([Circle(1.0), Rect(2.0, 3.0)])
76
+ b = sum(range(1, 1001))
77
+ print(io, "area {a}, sum {b}")
78
+
79
+ total_area(shapes) =
80
+ shapes |> map(area) |> fold(0.0, (acc, x) -> acc + x)
81
+ ```
82
+
83
+ Things to notice:
84
+
85
+ - **No annotation is required anywhere** — `total_area : (List(Shape)) -> Float`
86
+ is inferred. Annotations, when written, are verified claims, not instructions.
87
+ - **`main` receives its authority.** Nothing else in the program can perform
88
+ I/O, because nothing else holds the `io` capability and capabilities are
89
+ unforgeable (opaque types with no constructor).
90
+ - **`par` cannot introduce a race.** Its bindings must be pure; the runtime
91
+ enforces it and the semantics are provably order-independent.
92
+ - **The prelude is written in Prometheus** ([src/prom/stdlib/prelude.prom](src/prom/stdlib/prelude.prom))
93
+ and carries its own intents and checks — the standard library is its own
94
+ specification and test suite.

136
+ ## Implementation status
137
+
138
+ Implemented and tested today (bootstrap interpreter):
139
+
140
+ - layout syntax, string interpolation, pipelines (`|>`), lambdas, records
141
+ - algebraic data types with type parameters; total pattern matching
142
+ - Hindley–Milner-style inference with numeric defaulting and helpful
143
+ diagnostics (source spans, carets, "did you mean", `--json` output)
144
+ - **modules** (`use`): qualified values, shared types/constructors,
145
+ cross-file totality checking, cycle detection
146
+ - capability-gated effects (`Io`, `Fs`, `Clock`, `Env`, `Net`, `Rand`) —
147
+ purity visible in types; `main` typed by grant name; `args` support
148
+ - **Result-based error handling** — fallible builtins return `Result`
149
+ - `Map(k, v)`, text/parsing/sorting builtins, `Pair`/`zip` in the prelude
150
+ - deterministic `par` with runtime purity enforcement
151
+ - `check` executable specs, `intent` metadata, doc generation, REPL
152
+ - browser playground running the real toolchain (Pyodide)
153
+
154
+ Designed, not yet implemented (see [docs/roadmap.md](docs/roadmap.md) for the
155
+ plan and [docs/philosophy.md](docs/philosophy.md) for the honesty policy):
156
+ property checks, formatter, LSP server, content-addressed packages,
157
+ processes/channels, native code generation.
158
+
159
+ **A note on the name:** "Prometheus" collides with the ubiquitous
160
+ monitoring system, which will hurt search discoverability if this goes
161
+ wide. Renaming is cheap now and expensive later; the toolchain is isolated
162
+ behind the `prom` command and one package name if a rename is chosen.
163
+
164
+ ## Development
165
+
166
+ ```console
167
+ $ cd tests && python3 -m unittest discover -p 'test_*.py' # full suite
168
+ $ ./prom test src/prom/stdlib/prelude.prom # prelude self-checks
169
+ $ python3 tools/bench.py # bootstrap benchmarks
170
+ ```
