frost: Frost

In robertzk/frost: Frost

Description

Frost allows one to take homogeneously structured nested lists and introduce cross-references. For example, if we have

Details

one <- list(a = 1, b = list(c = ref(two), d = 2)) two <- list(a = ref(one), b = list(c = 3, d = 4))

Frost could compile these two lists into

one <- list(a = 1, b = list(c = 3, d = 2)) two <- list(a = 1, b = list(c = 3, d = 4))

So that neither contains a full specification of its values but in unison they do.

In particular, Frost is useful for the problem of satisfying DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) when giving Syberia model definitions.
