Support for file input/output

[suhr]

Stellogen supports printing data with show command. But in order to use it (for example) for AoC problems you need support for input (for example, from a file) as well.

Hello. Thank you for your interest and sorry for the delay.
I do plan to support file I/O, but I’m still unsure about the right design. The language is neither imperative nor functional, and it differs significantly from query-based languages like Prolog, which makes this non-trivial.
At the moment it's not a priority, but I'd be glad to hear any ideas or suggestions you may have.

For AoC problems IO at meta-level is enough: a macro that reads a file and becomes a list of characters.

I tried something simple here: #167

But also note that stellogen is an experimental research language coming from research on logic for computer science. It lacks support for elementary things such as integers so I believe you may have difficulties to treat AoC problems. Don't hesitate to tell me if there are other things I can do or try.
