programming language!!!! yippee!

Note

YIPPEE is in a very early phase and not yet open for contributions.
Talk to me if you would like to help the project (contact information on my website)

TODO (highest to lowest priority):

• (☆) if, while, for statements. (parser, ast, backend)
• (☆) create with struct field names (parser, ast, backend)
• (☆) struct default template argument values (ast, backend)
• (☆☆) array types (parser, ast, backend)
  • (☆) subscript operator (backend)
  • (☆) array literals (parser, ast, backend)
• (☆☆☆) generic functions (parser, ast, backend)
  • (☆) weak linkage (backend)
• (☆) member function call (fun double(x: int32) callable as x.double()) (parser, ast, backend)
• (☆☆) operator overloading (parser, ast, backend)
• (☆☆) boolean logic (parser, ast, backend)
• (☆☆☆) infer template arguments (backend?)
• (☆☆☆☆☆) import statement loads a file as type declarations. (parser, ast, backend)
  • (☆☆☆) get started on a standard library (...?, stdlib)
• (☆☆☆) possible(...) expression (parser, ast, backend)
  • (☆☆☆☆) template argument constraints (parser, ast, backend)
• (☆☆☆☆) compile directly to exe (backend)
• (☆☆☆) const types (parser, ast, backend)
• (☆☆☆) some form of reference types (out/in?) (parser, ast, backend)
• (☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆) RAII, constructors, destructors, and the such (parser, ast, backend)
• (☆) allow reordering of fields in create (C++ doesn't support this either so I'm letting this one sit) (backend)
• (☆☆☆) infer template arguments in create (backend?)

not sure how to design:

• (☆☆☆☆) os checking (best design would be a if constexpr analogue?) (parser?, ast?, backend)
• (☆) get array length (array.size, std::length(array), ???) (backend? stdlib?)
• (☆) character literals. C uint8, go rune, rust max-4-byte UTF-8 char, ??? (parser, ast, backend, stdlib?)
• (☆) string literals. automatically compile to a std::something? should YIPPEE be a UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32 language? C++-style user literals? (parser, ast, backend, stdlib?)
