- [ ] Function definition statements
## Short Goals:
- [ ] `for` loops and `while` loops can be used on the right-hand side of an assignment
- [ ] `for` loops and `while` loops can be used on the trailing side of an assignment
- [ ] Tree-walk interpreter for prototyping and debugging
- [ ] Data structures and sum-type enums
- [ ] Expression type-checker
- [ ] Trait/Interface system
- [ ] Tree-walk interpreter for prototyping and debugging
- [ ] Three-reference bytecode VM for standard library development
- [ ] Three-address bytecode VM for standard library development
## Long Goals:
- [ ] Semicolons are NEVER given special treatment
- [ ] Minimize the number of kinds of statements
- [ ] Compile to LLVM IR
- [ ] Create a standard library for the language, with Rust-like abstractions.
- [ ] Port the compiler to Conlang
