Redlang

learning to make interpreted programming language,

HOW TO TOKENIZE

• use switch case for single character symbols and keywords
• use special function to parse keywords of language
• keep an index of line column and line number in scanLine
• use an error reporting interface

Language Design

• Like Javascript
• Without
  • Type coercion (operations can only occur in same type)
  • this meaning what it should mean
  • Classes
  • switch with automatic break and fallthrough keyword
  • Block scoping and shouldn't be able to use variable before assignment
  • Standard Library

Things needed to do now

• Array primitives
• HashMap primitives
• Class and OOP support
• import/export support
• Math lib
• Fs lib
• Os lib
• UDP/TCP/HTTP lib
• Buffer

• Crypto
• IO
• Time/Date
• timer
• zlib
