Meta: v0 language spec

[thosakwe]

Knowing myself, I will come up with a new idea every day until the project dies and drown in work that will never be completed.

So, a final list of language features (will also help for writing the spec):

• Compilation Unit
  • Import Declaration (as, hide, show)
  • Typedef declaration
  • Enum (+sugar)
  • Struct type
  • Function type
  • ID type
  • Array type
  • Functions
    • Declaration
      • Signature
      • Body
  • Statements
    • Expression statement
    • Return
    • Throw
    • Try/catch/finally
    • While/do while
    • Expressions
      • Number
      • ID
      • Namespaced (i.e. constructor tear-off)
      • Call
      • for
      • if
      • match
      • when
      • Parenthesized
      • Tuple
      • Object/map literal
      • Range (+step) ex. 1..2, 3
      • Array literal
      • Simple string
      • Binary
      • Binary assignment
      • Subscript
      • Prefix (tilde, increment, positive, negative)
      • Postfix (increment)

Anything unchecked is missing a formal spec or parsing, typically both. Won't be checked until both are in place.
