# vig

a [v] parser in zig, also a shitpost taken too far

[v]: https://vlang.io

(will likely be done as a full compiler, who knows, leave a like and subscribe
for more epic adventures)

## why

 - because i want to learn parsers and what best to do it with a language i'm
negatively charged towards
 - theres an ast now it looks pretty
 - i finally understand recursive descent parsers

## variations

 - `for` is split between `for` and `loop` because my fucking god i cant stand
    having *four* different variations of `for` to parse.

 - struct initialization is with `Struct.{}`, not `Struct{}`, to remove parsing
    ambiguities (`if a {}` and `a{}`, v solves that with case, e.g structs Must
    Be Properly Titled and i can't bother with that)

## todo

 - no `for` yet
 - do we really want a type system
 - do we really want to output c
 - do we really want to output llvm
 - do we really want to output x86

## how

 - step 1: dab
 - step 2: ```
git clone https://gitdab.com/luna/vig.git
cd vig
zig build install --prefix ~/.local/
```
