# Description ## Problem\* Resolves #4588 ## Summary\* Adds the `comptime` keyword which can be used around certain constructs: - `comptime let foo = ...;` on local or global definitions - `comptime if a { b } else { c }` - `comptime for ... { ... }` - `comptime { ... }` This PR just adds these to parsing and forwards the new node types to the frontend as necessary. ## Additional Context The interpreter currently _does not_ handle these properly - this will come in a separate PR. Eventually we want the interpreter to _only_ interpret comptime things where currently it interprets everything. ## Documentation\* Check one: - [ ] No documentation needed. - [ ] Documentation included in this PR. - [x] **[For Experimental Features]** Documentation to be submitted in a separate PR. # PR Checklist\* - [x] I have tested the changes locally. - [x] I have formatted the changes with [Prettier](https://prettier.io/) and/or `cargo fmt` on default settings.
