# 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## TODO (parser)
|
|
|
|
- [ ] constructing complex type instances
|
|
- [ ] anonymous types
|
|
- [ ] pattern matching
|
|
- [ ] if-expressions
|
|
- [ ] match-expressions
|
|
- [ ] imports and exports
|
|
|
|
## 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))
|
|
|
|
// if is an expression that can return a value
|
|
let value =
|
|
if a == b then
|
|
a
|
|
else
|
|
b
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
|
|
The value for a type is one of the following:
|
|
|
|
- `enum {...}` enum
|
|
- `rec {...}` record
|
|
- `#(...)` tuple
|
|
|
|
These expressions can be nested.
|
|
|
|
```sk
|
|
type MyEnum = enum {
|
|
Var1 Int
|
|
Var2 Bool
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type MyRec = rec {
|
|
field1: Float
|
|
field2: Str
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// records declared in one line need to put a semicolon after each field declaration
|
|
type MyRecOneline = rec {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 = rec {
|
|
field1: enum {
|
|
Boolean Bool
|
|
Number Float
|
|
}
|
|
field2: #(Bool Bool)
|
|
field3: rec {
|
|
first: Int
|
|
second: Int
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
