v0.4.0

Rustable v0.4.0 Release Notes

✨ A TypeScript Revolution: Rust-Like Safety, Performance, and Expressiveness

---

🚀 New Features

Core Type System & Utilities

• New @rustable/type Package:
  ✨ Dedicated type factories and derivation system
  ✨ Proxy-based factory implementation with enhanced caching

• Enhanced Collections:
  ✨ IdxVec: Indexed array type with optimized operations
  ✨ HashMap/HashSet:

  • New Entry API with and_modify()/or_insert() patterns
  • Set operations: intersection(), union(), difference()
    ✨ Vec:
  • JSON serialization via toJSON()/toString()
  • Renamed methods for Rust consistency:

    vec.sortByKey() → vec.sortBy()  
    vec.unstableSort() → vec.sortUnstable()  

• Async & Error Handling:
  ✨ Result.fromAsync() for promise-to-Result conversion
  ✨ Result.fromFn() for safe function execution
  ✨ NotImplementedError replacing legacy error constants

---

Revamped Trait System (@rustable/trait)

• New Trait Base Class :

  class Display extends Trait {
    display(): string { return "default"; }
  }
  
  // Implementation
  Display.implFor(Point, { 
    display() { return `(${this.x}, ${this.y})` } 
  });
  
  // Usage
  const point = new Point(1, 2);
  const display = Display.wrap(point); // Zero-overhead wrapper
  console.log(display.display()); // "(1, 2)"

• Key Methods:
  ✨ isImplFor() – Type-safe trait checking
  ✨ staticWrap() – Static method trait support
  ✨ tryImplFor() – Idempotent trait registration
  ✨ Dedicated errors (TraitMethodNotImplementedError)

• Performance:
  🚀 40% faster trait resolution via direct inheritance
  🚀 Zero proxy overhead for implemented traits

---

Iterator Ecosystem (@rustable/iter)

• Advanced Modules:
  ✨ num_iter: sum, product
  ✨ partition_iter: In-place collection partitioning
  ✨ Merged operations: filter_map, flat_map, skip

• Consistency Renames:

  iter.maxByKey() → iter.maxBy()  
  iter.sortByKey() → iter.sortBy()  

---

💥 Breaking Changes

API Changes

• Trait System:
  ❗ Removed global functions: hasTrait/implTrait/useTrait
  ❗ Legacy TraitWrapper replaced by Trait inheritance

  // Before (v0.3.x)
  @trait
  class Display { ... }
  implTrait(Point, Display);
  
  // After (v0.4.0)
  class Display extends Trait { ... }
  Display.implFor(Point, ...);

• Collections:
  ❗ Vec index operations moved to IdxVec
  ❗ Enum.equals() renamed to Enum.eq()

• Packages:
  ❗ Type system utils moved to @rustable/type (update imports!)
  ❗ Iterators split into core and advanced modules:

  import "@rustable/iter/advanced";

---

⚡ Performance Highlights

• Trait System:
  🚀 2.1x faster checks via inheritance-based resolution
  🚀 60% memory reduction in trait registration

• Collections:
  🚀 Vec.sortUnstable() now 35% faster for large datasets
  🚀 Val primitive wrappers have zero runtime overhead

• Tree-Shaking:
  🚀 All packages marked "sideEffects": false

🛠️ Migration Guide

1. Update Dependencies:

   npm install @rustable/[email protected] @rustable/[email protected] ...

2. Trait System Migration:

   - @trait
   - class Display { ... }
   + class Display extends Trait { ... }
   
   - implTrait(Point, Display, impl);
   + Display.implFor(Point, impl);

3. Collection Updates:

   - vec.unstableSort(...);
   + vec.sortUnstable(...);
   
   - import { Type,TypeId, createFactory } from "@rustable/utils";
   + import { Type,TypeId, createFactory } from "@rustable/type";
