Enhancement for Supporting Template Literals in Parser and Addressing Variable Updates

[K1NZ54]

Hello,

Following the recent suggestion by @prevwong regarding supporting template literals for parsing JavaScript:

Reka.create({
  externals: {
    functions: (self) => {
       return [
         t.externalFunc({ name: "js", func: (args) => {
              const fn = new Function(`return ${args.expr}`);
              return fn();
         }})
       ]
    }
  }
});
val str = "hello world";
$js(`console.log(${str})`);

I appreciate that this approach can potentially resolve certain awkward aspects of our current setup. However, I have concerns about updating internal variables with this mechanism. While we can execute a return statement, how can we update internal values?

Moreover, I'd like to highlight that with the recent update, accessing array elements like table[0] is now feasible. However, updating a value in the array gives us a typeError: Validation.... This needs to be addressed alongside the template literal enhancement.

Would appreciate insights on these two matters.

Thank you.

Can we split this to 2 separate issues please? I don't see a correlation between the template literals and updating the value of a member expression.
