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:

  • Decide on a minimal set of keywords and operators to support
  • Lex an entire Rust source file (minus generics, paths, and lifetimes)
  • Write expression grammar
  • Write AST for expression grammar
  • Write parser for AST
  • Create tests for parser (and AST)
  • Parse dummy.cl into a valid AST
  • Pretty printer, for debugging
  • Create minimal statement grammar
    • Variable definition statements
    • Function definition statements

Short Goals:

  • 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
  • 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
