MoonBit Update​

  • Support array.iter intrinsic and annotate functions in the standard library, enabling inline loops in specific cases to improve runtime efficiency.

    /// @intrinsic %array.iter
    pub fn iter[T](self : Array[T], f : (T) -> Unit) -> Unit {
      for i = 0; i < self.length(); i = i + 1 {
        f(self[i])
      }
    }

Toolchain Update​

  • Support the experimental code coverage tool:
    • The tool has experimentally supported MoonBit Core CI.
