vig

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

(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
• no methods yet (fn (v Type) blah() blah {...})
• 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/
