nakathon's Issues

chore: make if statement syntax consistent

Before the initial release, I tried making the if statements follow the {} instead of "then" and "end", but I gave up.
Only hours later, my brain came up with an idea, it's fixed, but this will be marked closed once I commit the fix

syntax: change inline function arrow to return

something like
func add(a, b) return a + b

feature: implement local variable type

chore: delete the immutable, temporary and scoped var assign nodes

the way how is coded, these nodes are obsolete

feature: https request function

general: include a standalone executable of the interpreter in releases

chore: change logging system

A good thing you could change in your project is instead of using print start use the logging utility.

feature: assign operators like '+='

feature: add Random() function

Random(min, max) -> int

chore: store the working directories for imports

chore: change "for" loop syntax

Change from:
for i = 0 to 10 step 2
To:
for i = 0 ; 10 ; 2

bug: comment crashes the interpreter

Will be marked as closed once a commit have this fix

chore: clean up function classes

Make the BuiltInFunction class in a way where the methods are generated while parsing the arguments

Clean up the inner working of the Function classes

issue: utf-8 encoding not enforced

chore: make optional arguments (default values) for functions

chore: clean up code

feature: switch case

bug: InputNumber() return Null.nill instead of Null.null when empty

chore: use more the debug message utils

chore: revise run() and run_external(), run_external() is redundant

Just realized that run_external() is redundant

feature: simple variable value reassigning

Every time when we want to assign a new value to a variable, we repeat the variable initializer
so instead of doing this

# Starting the variable
var number = 0

# Current way
var number = 1

# New way
number = 1

chore: typings

Using more type while defining a function and others where is possible

bug: escape chars like "\n" and "\t" only appearing as "n" and "t"

bug: built in functions are considered not defined in function scope

chore: use Cython or similar for speed up

• https://pypi.org/project/Cython/
• https://github.com/taichi-dev/taichi
• https://github.com/mypyc/mypyc
• https://www.pypy.org/
• https://nuitka.net/index.html
• https://pythran.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
• https://github.com/modularml/mojo

bug: "true", "false" and "null" can still be overwritten despite being marked as immutable symbols in function scope

bug: trying to overwrite a built-in function crashes the interpreter instead of showing an error

feature: Classes

overhaul: one day to rewrite the whole project to another language

Maybe after when there's nothing left to do in this project

feature: Imports

bug: for and while loops not working on function scope
