Funky 1.2.01

Funky is an embeddable interpreter and programming language.
When was Fnky created?
The very first version of Funky was created during my daughters nap on a snowy sunday afternoon. It was slightly refined one evening while my daughter and my wife were both sleeping and I was rocking the babys "cozy" with my foot (as I am doing now). The initial programming therefore took about 90 minutes, whereas a bit of fine-tuning and turning the original parser/interpreter into a parser/interpreter with two phases (parsing and interpreting) took another two hours or so.
Why was Funky created?
The original idea wasnt mine: at work, a colleague needed a functional, embeddable programming language and created one from scratch. It took him a few days to do so, but he wrote the parser and the scanner by hand. I heard about his little language and thought it might be a nice idea to have one of those in the free world.
Also, as a personal challenge, I decided I should be able to write one of those in much less time that a few days, but using the right tools. Hence, one sunday afternoon I took my laptop computer and started typing. I decided to use Boost.Spirit to write the parser: I had already read the documentation once while doing some research for the Jail programming language and found it a pretty good framework to build a parser one. 90 minutes later, I had the first working version of a Funky interpreter (but it wasnt embeddable yet and didnt split the parsing and interpreting phases).
So, what exactly is Funky?
As stated, Funky is a tiny, embeddable programming language with almost unlimited extending capabilities. It presents itself as a single class which contains the entire interpreter. Two versions of this class exist: Funky::Funky, which is a floating-point version, and Funky::Groovy, which is an integer version. You can install your own functions in the language as long as your functions take a vector of the built-in type of the interpreter as return an instance of that built-in type (or a vector of those).
Funky is a functional programming language. As such, it treats everything as functions and those functions handle only one type: double in the case of Funky::Funky or int in the case of Funky::Groovy.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for GCC 4.x by fixing a small error in the declaration of a variable.
- It also comes with more documentation on how to build Funky.
