hakiScript Checklist

This is a checklist for the development of the hakiScript compiler. A language inspired from javascript written in rust.

Getting Started

• Set up a project repository and version control system.

Lexer and Parser

• Implement a lexer to tokenize the source code.
• Create a parser to build an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).

Semantic Analysis

• Develop semantic analysis to check for type compatibility and scope rules.
• Create a symbol table to manage variables, functions, and scope.

Intermediate Representation

• Generate an intermediate representation (IR) of the code.
• Implement optimization passes to improve code quality.

Code Generation

• Develop code generation to produce machine code, assembly, or bytecode from the IR.
• Handle runtime support, if necessary.

Testing

• Write comprehensive test cases to ensure the compiler's correctness.
• Create tests for edge cases and expected error handling.

Documentation

• Document the usage of your compiler.
• Provide information about language syntax and specific features.

User-Friendly Features

• Enhance the compiler with user-friendly features like error messages and warnings.

Packaging and Distribution

• Prepare your compiler for distribution, create installers, or package it for different platforms.

License

• Choose and add an appropriate open-source license to your project.
