New Language Features and Updates

Functions

• Introduction of Functions:
  Developers can now easily construct simple Frame programs with the introduction of functions. The current syntax supports a single main() function, with the upcoming v0.12 release extending support for an unlimited number of functions.

System Controller Instantiation

• Frame Systems and Control:
  With the inclusion of Frame functions, developers can now create fully functional Frame programs, gaining the ability to instantiate and control Frame systems. This allows for comprehensive control over system initialization, state parameters, start state parameters, and domain variables.

  Explore Frame Systems

Operations

• Frame Operations:
  Frame operations, publicly accessible methods that bypass the state machine, now offer privileged access to system domain data. Additionally, operations can be designated as static, enabling systems to provide libraries of associated functionality for complex or repetitive system management routines.

  Discover Frame Operations

Enums

• Enum Support:
  Frame now supports system-enumerated types, enhancing the expressiveness of the language.

  Learn about Frame Enumerated Types

Loops

• Looping in Frame:
  Frame now supports two types of loops: For-like loops and Infinite loops, providing developers with versatile options for program flow control.
