Further thoughts/still to do: Further thoughts/still to do:
* Clean up the parsing functions: * AST nodes should include tokens/locations
- use accept-many in blocks and scripts - at current, only atoms do this
- ast nodes should include their tokens (this is added for atoms, which may be fully sufficient) * Improve error handling in hashmap parsing
* Time to start working on parsing errors (poisoned nodes, panic mode, etc.) *
- this now works on atoms, collections, synthetics, blocks, and scripts
- add to everything else:
- CURRENTLY:
* figure out how to parse `if` with similar strategy to `let`
* one possibility is to paramterize parse-expr with a sync token:
the idea here is that exprs will have different end sync points in different contexts (`}` vs `then` vs `\n`, etc.)
* the strategy here will be the same for the rest of the sequential constructs: `let`, `if`, `import`, `fn`, `loop`, etc.
Other quick thoughts: Other quick thoughts:
* Once I get this far, then it's time to wire up the interpreter (with hard-coded functions, and the beginning of static analysis)
* Placeholders * Placeholders
* Placeholders may only appear in tuples in synthetic expressions
* Each of these may have zero or one placeholders
* Does this want to happen in parsing or in analysis? * Does this want to happen in parsing or in analysis?
For future correctness checks: For future correctness checks:
* Early (even as part of wiring up the interpreter), begin the static analysis check for
- unbound names
- re-binding of names
* Compound `loop` and `gen` forms must have LHS's (tuple patterns) of the same length
* Recur must be in tail position in `loop`s
* Tail call optimization for simple recursion
* Check arities for statically known functions
* Enforce single-member tuple after called keywords
