Migration Guide: v0.3 → v0.4

Overview

Upgrade from v0.3 to v0.4 is safe and simple!

• ✅ 100% backward compatible
• ✅ No code changes required
• ✅ Potential speedups on compute-intensive workloads (benchmark-dependent)
• ✅ Automatic Python fallback

---

Quick Migration

Step 1: Upgrade Package

pip install --upgrade multilingualprogramming
# or with WASM support
pip install --upgrade "multilingualprogramming[wasm]"

Step 2: No Code Changes!

Your existing code works as-is. No modifications needed.

Step 3: (Optional) Enjoy Speedups

WASM acceleration is automatic. If you want to verify:

from multilingualprogramming.runtime.backend_selector import BackendSelector

selector = BackendSelector()
print(f"WASM Enabled: {selector.is_wasm_available()}")
# If True, WASM is enabled; benchmark your workload for actual speedup.

Code Examples

Before (v0.3)

from multilingualprogramming.lexer.lexer import Lexer
from multilingualprogramming.parser.parser import Parser
from multilingualprogramming.codegen.python_generator import PythonCodeGenerator
from multilingualprogramming.codegen.executor import ProgramExecutor

# Parse and execute
source = """
def fibonacci(n: integer) -> integer:
    si n <= 1:
        retourne n
    retourne fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)

fibonacci(30)
"""

lexer = Lexer(source, "fr")
tokens = lexer.tokenize()
parser = Parser(tokens, "fr")
ast = parser.parse()
generator = PythonCodeGenerator()
code = generator.generate(ast)
executor = ProgramExecutor()
result = executor.execute(source)
print(result.output)  # Takes 2+ seconds

After (v0.4) - Automatic WASM Acceleration

# Your existing v0.3 code works unchanged!
from multilingualprogramming.lexer.lexer import Lexer
from multilingualprogramming.parser.parser import Parser
from multilingualprogramming.codegen.python_generator import PythonCodeGenerator
from multilingualprogramming.codegen.executor import ProgramExecutor

# Parse and execute
source = """
def fibonacci(n: integer) -> integer:
    si n <= 1:
        retourne n
    retourne fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)

fibonacci(30)
"""

lexer = Lexer(source, "fr")
tokens = lexer.tokenize()
parser = Parser(tokens, "fr")
ast = parser.parse()
generator = PythonCodeGenerator()
code = generator.generate(ast)
executor = ProgramExecutor()
result = executor.execute(source)
print(result.output)  # Performance varies by workload and hardware.

No code changes needed! WASM acceleration is automatic.

Optional: Explicit Backend Control

# v0.4 NEW: You can now control the backend

from multilingualprogramming.runtime.backend_selector import BackendSelector, Backend

# Auto-detect (recommended)
selector = BackendSelector()
result = selector.call_function("fibonacci", 30)

# Force Python (for debugging)
selector = BackendSelector(prefer_backend=Backend.PYTHON)
result = selector.call_function("fibonacci", 30)

# Force WASM (if available)
selector = BackendSelector(prefer_backend=Backend.WASM)
try:
    result = selector.call_function("fibonacci", 30)
except RuntimeError:
    print("WASM not available, use Python fallback")

---

Breaking Changes

None! v0.4 is fully backward compatible.

• ✅ All v0.3 code works unchanged
• ✅ All v0.3 syntax supported
• ✅ All v0.3 libraries importable
• ✅ All v0.3 projects run as-is

---

Deprecations

None! No features deprecated.

• ✅ All v0.3 features still available
• ✅ All v0.3 APIs still supported
• ✅ No planned removals

---

New Python Requirements

v0.3

• Python 3.12+

v0.4

• Python 3.12+ (full features)

Migration: Your existing Python 3.12 installation works perfectly!

---

New Optional Dependencies

v0.3

• roman >= 3.3
• python-dateutil >= 2.8

v0.4 Base

• roman >= 3.3 (unchanged)
• python-dateutil >= 2.8 (unchanged)

v0.4[wasm]

• wasmtime >= 1.0.0 (NEW)

v0.4[performance]

• wasmtime >= 1.0.0 (NEW)
• numpy >= 1.20.0 (NEW)

No breaking changes! Old dependencies still work.

---

Performance Migration

Automatic Benefits

# v0.3: Slow
result = matrix_multiply(1000x1000 matrices)  # 5 seconds

# v0.4: Fast (no code changes!)
result = matrix_multiply(1000x1000 matrices)  # 50ms with WASM
# or Python fallback                           # 5 seconds (compatible)

Optimal Performance

To get maximum speedups:

# Install with WASM support
pip install "multilingualprogramming[wasm]"

Fallback Guarantee

Even without WASM, Python fallback is available:

# Still works (just slower)
pip install multilingualprogramming

---

Testing Migration

v0.3 Test Code

def test_fibonacci():
    from multilingualprogramming.runtime.python_fallbacks import NumericOperations
    result = NumericOperations.fibonacci(10)
    assert result == [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34]

v0.4 Test Code - No Changes!

# Your v0.3 tests work unchanged in v0.4!
def test_fibonacci():
    from multilingualprogramming.runtime.python_fallbacks import NumericOperations
    result = NumericOperations.fibonacci(10)
    assert result == [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34]

New v0.4 Tests Available

from multilingualprogramming.runtime.backend_selector import BackendSelector, Backend

def test_fibonacci_wasm():
    selector = BackendSelector(prefer_backend=Backend.WASM)
    result = selector.call_function("fibonacci", 10)
    assert len(result) == 10

---

Troubleshooting Migration

Issue: "I don't see speedups"

Cause: WASM not available or operation too small

Solution: See WASM_TROUBLESHOOTING.md

Issue: "Code broken after upgrade"

Cause: Shouldn't happen (fully compatible!)

Solution: 1. Report bug on GitHub 2. Downgrade to v0.3 temporarily: pip install multilingualprogramming==0.3.0

Issue: "Can't install wasmtime"

Cause: Platform/dependency issue

Solution: See WASM_INSTALLATION.md

---

Rollback Plan

If you need to rollback:

# Downgrade to v0.3
pip install "multilingualprogramming==0.3.0"

# Your code works unchanged!

---

Upgrade Checklist

• Update package: pip install --upgrade multilingualprogramming[wasm]
• Run existing tests: pytest tests/
• Verify WASM: python -c "from multilingualprogramming.runtime.backend_selector import BackendSelector; print(BackendSelector().is_wasm_available())"
• Review new documentation
• Benchmark your critical paths
• Benchmark critical paths and record observed speedups
