Yoot

Yoot is an experiment in programming language design and development as a result of having read the amazing book named Crafting Interpreters by Robert Nystrom.

Todo

• Add support for comments
• Add support for updating variables
• Add support for multi line functions
• Add support for while statements
• Implement type inference
• Compile to Binaryen/WASM
• Add testing framework to check examples against expected (debug) outputs
• Add parsing error supports
  • Handle spans in tokenizer and parser
  • Integrate ariadne diagnostic rendering
• Prototype no-panicing int type system
• Compile to Cranelift
• Compile to LLVM
• Transpile to Rust
  • Use rustc-plugin to hook into Rust?
• Work out new experimental block parser architecture

Ideas

• Integer types (Integer, Number, Int8, I8)
• Backends (wasm, cranelift, llvm, rust)
• Wasm interface types, idls.
• Panic, no panic.
• Optional return type, result return type.
