Structs

The following code shows basic use of a struct.

Point: struct {
    x: float
    y: float
}

Comma separation is optional in struct initialization and definition.

Point is thus defined as a data structure containing two float fields xand y.

You can define instances of Pointlike so:

point0 := new Point {
    x: 100
    y: 200
}

point1: Point = new Point {
    x: 1
    y: 2
}

Struct fields are always mutable. You can access fields of a struct like this:

point := new Point {
    x: 100
    y: 100
}

point x = 20
point y = point x

Wu does not use .for field access, because doing so would be gross.

We can also implement methods on our structs. This will feel very familiar for people with Rust experience.

Vector: struct {
    x: float,
    y: float
}

implement Vector {
    new: fun(x, y) -> Self {
        Vector {
            x: x,
            y: y
        }
    }

    length: fun(self) -> float {
        (self x^2 + self y^2)^0.5
    }

    normalize: fun(self) {
        len := self length()
        
        self x /= len
        self y /= len
    }
}

a := Vector new(100, 100)
a normalize()

Self aliases whatever struct type you're implementing on.
