First Class Contexts – Rye Language

Rye Language introduces the concept of first-class contexts, which act as scopes for Rye words and are treated as dictionary structures. Contexts can be created using functions like context and extends, allowing for the creation of specific parent-child relationships. Context paths are used to access values within a context, and direct changes to values inside a context are restricted in Rye to maintain control over modifications. Evaluation in a context can be done using functions like do and do\in, enabling code execution within a specified context. Rye also provides mechanisms like private and isolate functions to manage context isolation and execution. Builtin contexts like math are available for math operations, and functions can be defined within specific contexts using fn\in. The Rye Console allows for navigation and interaction with contexts similar to navigating directories on a computer. Overall, Rye's context-oriented approach allows for structured code organization and controlled access to functions and variables within different contexts.
