The place where random ideas get written down and lost in time.
2014-06-13 - State of Nova script
Category DEVState of Nova script :
- Lack of interest for spec 1 of the language
- Not convinced about antlr4
- Pro : not writing lexer myself. Simple to understand, as it just generates a lexer tree. No mixing ast instructions + code in grammar file. Visitor pattern easy to work with.
- Cons: doesn't do much. No automatic ast generation. Lots of boring template code to generate internal ast. Lack of non-free documentation.
- Results in unfinished project so didn't tackle the hard parts yet such as execution.
- Should I continue on something I won't use for the sake of it, or redesign directly for 'what I want' (and what) without knowing if I can really implement it?
- Logic dictates I finish v1 as a proof of concept but don't stop there.
