This is an experiment! Background:
- http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2020/10/big-changes.html#appendix-the-tea-language
- https://old.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/jb5i5m/help_i_keep_stealing_features_from_elixir_because/g8urxou/
- https://lobste.rs/s/4hx42h/assorted_thoughts_on_zig_rust#c_mqpg6e
tl;dr Tea is a cleanup of Oil's metalanguages, which can be called "statically typed Python with sum types". (Zephyr ASDL is pretty clean, but mycpp is messy, and needs cleanup.)
- Tea Grammar: https://github.com/oilshell/oil/blob/master/oil_lang/grammar.pgen2#L363
- Tea ASDL Schema: https://github.com/oilshell/oil/blob/master/frontend/syntax.asdl#L324
This is currently run in the continuous build (http://travis-ci.oilshell.org/jobs/).
