# Snek Lang Parser
This is a parser implementation for snek-lang using [pest](https://pest.rs).
Snek-Lang is a programming language that I'm working on and might never finish.
I don't know where this will lead me.
## Snek-Lang (so far)
### Primitives
```sk
100 // Int
1.0, .1 // Float
true, false // Bool
0xFF, 0b100 // Byte
"Hello World" // Str
```
### Expressions
Every expression has to evaluate to a value
```sk
// infix addition
1 + 1
// function calls
add2 4
// nested expressions
1 * ( 1 - 1 )
// nested function calls
add2 (sub4 (mul2 4))
```
### Declarations
A declaration declares a variable. When listing arguments in that
declaration those arguments have to be provided when accessing the variable (see function call above).
Declarations without variables are only evaluated once (Probably but I have to think about that).
```sk
// simple declaration
let a = 5
// add arguments (converting it into a function)
let add2 n = n + 2
// nested statements with blocks
let complex_addition a b c = {
let d = a + b
let e = b + c
d + e + 1
}
```
### Complex types
All type declarations follow a similar patter.
The value for a type is one of the following:
- `#[...]` enum
- `#{...}` record
- `#(...)` tuple
These expressions can be nested.
```sk
type MyEnum = #[
Var1 Int
Var2 Bool
]
type MyRec = #{
field1: Float
field2: Str
}
// records declared in one line need to put a semicolon after each field declaration
type MyRecOneline = #{field1: Float; field2: Str}
// tuples can be declared in one line without a semicolon because there's no ambiguity
type MyTuple = #(Float Str)
type Nested = #{
field1: #[
Boolean Bool
Number Float
]
field2: #(Bool Bool)
field3: #{
first: Int
second: Int
}
}
```
