Refactor Sequence.map and Sequence.where to return lazy MapSequence and WhereSequence wrappers instead of eagerly building a List. Add new MapSequence and WhereSequence classes that delegate iteration and apply the transformation or predicate on-the-fly. Update documentation to reflect lazy semantics and the need to call .list to materialize results. Adjust all existing tests to call .list on map/where results. Add new tests in test/core/sequence/ verifying lazy behavior with infinite Fibonacci iterators.
Add a new `each` method to the Sequence class in the Wren programming language,
allowing iteration over sequence elements by passing each element to a provided
function. This replaces the previous pattern of using `map` with `Fiber.yield`
in examples, providing a more direct and idiomatic way to perform side effects
per element. The implementation includes a core library method in `core.wren`,
a C source string in `wren_core.c`, documentation in the Sequence markdown file,
and three test cases covering normal iteration, empty sequences, and non-function
argument error handling.
Introduce MapSequence and WhereSequence subclasses of Sequence that apply transformations lazily during iteration instead of building intermediate lists. Update Sequence.map and Sequence.where to return these deferred wrappers, modify all existing tests to call .list on results, and add new infinite-sequence tests verifying lazy behavior on Fibonacci iterators.
Add a new `each` method to the Sequence class that iterates over elements
calling a provided function for each, serving as a side-effect-only
alternative to `map` when the resulting list is not needed. This is
particularly important for the upcoming change where `map` will return a
new sequence instead of mutating in place, as demonstrated by updating
the README and index examples to use `each` with Fiber.yield. Includes
documentation in the Sequence API reference and three new test cases
covering normal iteration, empty sequences, and non-function argument
error handling.
Rewrite all() and any() to store and return the predicate's result directly, matching && and || semantics. Update documentation to describe the new behavior. Move tests from test/core/list/ to test/core/sequence/ and add cases verifying that the first falsey/truthy value is returned.
Implements a new `list` method on the Sequence class that iterates over all elements and collects them into a new List instance. Includes documentation in the core sequence docs and a test case verifying correct behavior with a custom sequence implementation.
Implement the `String.fromCodePoint(_)` primitive that creates a string from a Unicode code point, with validation for integer range 0–0x10ffff. Extract inline UTF-8 encoding logic from `readUnicodeEscape` in the compiler into new `wrenUtf8NumBytes` and `wrenUtf8Encode` utility functions in `wren_utils`, and add `wrenStringFromCodePoint` helper in `wren_value`. Update documentation for core classes to add "Methods" and "Static Methods" section headers, and include `String.fromCodePoint` docs with example. Add a test file `from_code_point.wren` covering various code points.
Implement a new `count(f)` method on the Sequence class that accepts a predicate function and returns the number of elements for which the predicate evaluates to true. The implementation iterates over the sequence, calling `f.call(element)` on each element and incrementing a counter when the result is truthy.
Also update the documentation for both Sequence and List classes: add full documentation for the new `count(predicate)` method on Sequence, and change the terminology in List docs from "items" to "elements" for consistency. Add three test files covering the basic predicate behavior, non-boolean return values from the predicate, and the error case when a non-function argument is passed.
Add a generic `contains` implementation on the `Sequence` base class, removing the duplicate method from `List`. This allows all sequence types (including Range) to use the method without per-class redefinition. Include new test files for `List.contains` and `Range.contains` covering ordered, backwards, and exclusive ranges.
Adds a new `any` method to the Sequence class that tests whether any element
in the sequence passes the given predicate function, returning true on the
first match or false if none match. Includes documentation, core library
source update, and three new test files covering basic functionality,
non-boolean return values, and non-function argument error handling.
Add `join` and `join(sep)` methods to the `Sequence` class, allowing any sequence to produce a concatenated string of its elements with an optional separator. Refactor `List.toString` to delegate to `join(", ")` with bracket wrapping, removing the manual iteration logic from List. Include new test files for List, Range, and String join behavior, plus runtime error tests for non-string separators.
Add String as a subclass of Sequence in core.wren and implement the iterator protocol for strings in wren_core.c. The string_iterate native advances through UTF-8 code point boundaries, while string_iteratorValue extracts the full code point at a given byte index. Includes comprehensive test coverage for iteration, edge cases (empty strings, mid-sequence positions), and error handling for invalid iterator types and out-of-bounds indices. Also updates documentation for String, List, and Sequence classes with iterator protocol details and usage examples.
