Types

Jot currently enforces type rules at runtime.

Runtime value kinds

• Long
• Double
• JotBigInteger
• JotBigDecimal
• Boolean
• JotList
• JotFunction
• JotNull

Number literals

let i = 123
let d = 12.34

• Integer literals parse as decimal digits.
• Decimal literals require digits on both sides of ..
• Extremely large values use big-number runtime representations.

Operator compatibility

Arithmetic/comparison operators are defined for numeric operands.

print(1 + 2)
print(1 + 2.0)

Second line currently raises a runtime type error because mixed Long + Double arithmetic is not implemented.

Equality

print(1 == 1)
print(true != false)
print([1, 2] == [1, 2])

List/function/object equality is identity-based.
