DSC - Damn Simple Code

This document is a work in progress!

Nothing is final!

Syntax

• we aim to make the syntax simple and easy to understand, this has the following benefits
  • easy to write
  • easy to parse
  • little variation in syntax means we have to handle less cases in semantic analysis, meaning we will be able to create a working compiler quicker.

Types

• we should support the following types
  • unsigned integer types (U8, U16, U32)
  • signed integer types (I8, I16, I32)
  • boolean type (Bool)
  • struct types (Struct)
  • dynamic types *(Dyn)
