feat(lang,stdlib): 64-bit long type + 64-bit Hash variants (issue #17)
Add `long`, a 64-bit signed integer primitive (i64), threaded through
codegen: llty; int<->long coercion (coerce_code/to_long) at let/assign/
return/call-args; i64 arithmetic + comparison promotion in emit_bin;
unary negate/~; print via %lld and str()/interpolation via @fn_long_str.
Editor vocabulary (syntax header, TextMate grammar, formatter, LSP)
synced; check-vocabulary green. Numeric literals stay i32 — build large
values by widening (documented on the type page).

Complete the Hash.* namespace (issue #17) with both 32- and 64-bit
algorithms: Hash.of/fnv1a/crc32/mix/combine (32-bit) and
Hash.of64/fnv1a_64/mix64 (64-bit, returning long). Deterministic and
C-free; CRC-32 (poly 0xEDB88320) and FNV vectors verified against
reference implementations.

Tests: selfhost/tests/{hash,long}.ludic. Docs: docs/language/hash/*,
type-long.md. Seed reseeded; C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds; 23
selfhost + 45 regression + 29 tooling checks green.

hash-mix64 Hash.mix64 hash namespace-method Hash.mix64 Hash.mix64(x) -> long Avalanche one 64-bit integer into a well-scrambled value. 8 Hash mix64

The 64-bit counterpart of Hash.mix: the MurmurHash3 fmix64 finalizer (shift by 33, multiply, repeat). It thoroughly scrambles a long, so consecutive or structured inputs map to unrelated-looking outputs — ideal for turning a large counter, packed coordinate, or 64-bit id into a random-looking seed. An int argument widens to 64 bits first. Deterministic; Hash.mix64(0) is 0.

Parameters:

  • x — the integer to avalanche (widened to long)
program Seeds64 {
  entry {
    let base: long = Hash.of64("chunk")
    print(Hash.mix64(base))
    print(Hash.mix64(base + 1))   # a neighbouring input -> an unrelated seed
  }
}
