The Language So far
In the prior post I described how Tuplet came to be. This post is going to lay out where the language stands today.
What is actually written
As of today, it's just a grammar. Antlr can convert this into a lexer and parser for me, but before I do that I'll have to create a new language target for Antlr. Specifically, I need to create a target for Janet. I could use one of the existing language targets like Go, but then the tool-chain would be Tuplet->Go(executable)->Janet->C->executable
which would require working in 3 languages (Tuplet, Go, and Janet) to expand the language, and that just seems ridiculous. Heck, Tuplet->Janet->C->executable
seems ridiculous. At least the Janet->C
portion of it is invisible.
