### Install Dependencies
An expressive, type-safe programming language
1. `stack.yaml`: add `package-name-version` to `extra-deps`
2. `package.yaml`: add `package-name` to `dependencies`
3. run `stack build`

## About the Project
The Violet programming language draws inspiration from Python's expressiveness, Rust's syntax clarity, and TypeScript's type system. The goal is to create a versatile tool for developers that is easy to learn and doesn't sacrifice performance or type-safety.
## Getting Started
Follow these steps to set up a development environment.
### Prerequisites
You'll need to have Haskell and Stack set up on your system. I advise installing [GHCup](https://haskell.org/ghcup/install) to manage your Haskell environment.
These are the versions I had installed while developing Violet.
| | Version |
| ----- | -------: |
| GHCup | 0.1.20.0 |
| GHC | 9.4.8 |
| Stack | 2.13.1 |
| Cabal | 3.10.2.1 |
| HLS | 2.5.0.0 |
### Installation
1. Clone the repo
```sh
git clone https://github.com/zyrrus/violet.git
```
2. Build the project
```sh
stack build
```
---
### Development Guides
This section contains small, miscellaneous guides for anything I find helpful that is not specifically tied to setting up the environment for this project.
#### Installing Dependencies
1. In `stack.yaml`, add `package-name-version` to `extra-deps`
2. In `package.yaml`, add `package-name` to `dependencies`
3. Build the project again
```sh
stack build
```
#### Running GHCI
1. Run the interpreter
```sh
stack ghci
```
2. Run `:set -XOverloadedStrings` in GHCI
## Usage
> **⚠️ Warning:**\
> Violet is a hobby project that is still under development.
### Release v0.1.0 (Parser executable)
This release contains an executable, `violet.exe`, that just parses a file and prints the program in the form of a list of `Statements`
The program expects a single file path argument (demonstrated below).
```sh
./violet.exe path/to/file.vi
```
## Roadmap
- [x] Basic lexer/parser
- [x] Comments (block + single-line)
- [x] Imports
- [x] Function definitions
- [x] Variable declaration + assignment
- [x] Conditionals
- [x] Expressions
- [ ] Full lexer/parser
- [ ] Type system (definitions + operations)
- [ ] Lists
- [ ] List comprehensions
- [ ] Ternary operations
- [ ] Bit-wise operations
- [ ] Syntactic sugar (`elif`, compound assignment operators like `x += 4`)
- [ ] Semantic analysis
- [ ] Compiler
