A snowball compiler for Go

snowcone

Snowcone is a snowball compiler for Go. Currently, it is only capable of lexing and parsing the source. It cannot yet generate the corresponding Go code.

Status

EXPERIMENTAL – the API will change once we add the ability to generate code.

TODO

• Parser
  • get directives
  • review grammar - rule expanding C to = S, I encountered a reduce/reduce conflict that i haven't yet resolved
• Build interpreter to evaluate externals on user supplied input
• Generate Go code to execute externals in external apps

Open Questions

• What does ? command do? Manual only includes it in the grammar and says it's a debugging aid.
