[Swift-devel] Swiftscript Iteration constructs, Clarification [GSoC 2011]

[Yadu Nand]

Hi,

This is regarding the idea on adding map, fold, scan to succeed the
current iterative programming constructs (foreach, iterate).

Currently foreach follows the following structure :

file source[ ];
file destination[ ];

foreach value, index in source {
    destination[index]  =  func( value );
}

map could do the same using the structure :
destination = map ( func,  source )

Is this what is required ?

Furthermore,
The swift userguide[1] mentions VDL.g and XDTM.xsd but those files
are either missing or have (more likely) been renamed.
Instead I have been looking at which I believe is the renamed version:
resources/swiftscript.g
resources/swiftscript.xsd

Any inputs are welcome and appreciated.
