A toy language.

Currently this README serves mostly as personal notes, so it might not make sense.

Online Moly to WebAssembly compiler to draw the mandelbrot set: https://misabiko.github.io/moly_lang/ Based on https://blog.scottlogic.com/2019/05/17/webassembly-compiler.html

Inspirations

• Rust compiler implementation of Monkey Script
  • Cymbal https://github.com/shuhei/cymbal
• Calling function literals directly: fn() { 5 }()
  • Monkey
• Eliding field name on struct initialization
  • Go

Goals

• Elm-style compiler-driven development

Decisions

• When possible, instead of having the compiler optimize redundant code, give messages on how to optimize the code
• TODO Any need for empty static arrays?

Later features

• Removing semicolons, for now it's much easier to parse and make sense of
