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

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)
function parameters must have a type always (no fn blah(x, y int), must be fn blah(x int, y int))
ifs are always statements, not expressions (can't use if as an r-value: x := if ...)
no ++, -- (use += and -=)
no match
no embedded structs
no enum literals (x = .val2)
no v orm
no codegen
no inline assembly

no map yet
no in yet (probably will be dropped)
no module, import yet
no interfaces yet
no generics yet
no attributes yet ([live], [skip])
no defer yet
no switch yet
no operator overloading methods yet
do we really want a type system (optionals included)
- no error handling yet (call() or {blah})
- no ? postfix operator yet (call()?)
do we really want to output c
do we really want to output llvm
do we really want to output x86
