# Conlang: Expression-Oriented Programming Language
|
|
This project began out of a desire to merge Rust-style control flow expressions
|
|
with Python's fun for-else/while-else syntax. I fully intend to devote my spare time
|
|
to conlang for the forseeable future, and I livestream development on Twitch for one
|
|
Friday each month.
|
|
|
|
## Immediate Goals:
|
|
- [x] Decide on a minimal set of keywords and operators to support
|
|
- [x] Lex an entire Rust source file (minus generics, paths, and lifetimes)
|
|
- [x] Write expression grammar
|
|
- [x] Write AST for expression grammar
|
|
- [x] Write parser for AST
|
|
- [ ] Create tests for parser (and AST)
|
|
- [x] Parse `dummy.cl` into a valid AST
|
|
- [x] Pretty printer, for debugging
|
|
- [x] Create minimal statement grammar
|
|
- [x] Variable definition statements
|
|
- [x] Function definition statements
|
|
|
|
## Short Goals:
|
|
- [x] `for` loops and `while` loops can be used on the trailing side of an assignment
|
|
- [x] Tree-walk interpreter for prototyping and debugging
|
|
- [ ] Data structures and sum-type enums
|
|
- [ ] Expression type-checker
|
|
- [ ] Trait/Interface system
|
|
- [ ] Three-address bytecode VM for standard library development
|
|
|
|
## Long Goals:
|
|
- [ ] 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
