Experiment

[chanryu]

Originally, the experiment branch was created to experiment a few additional feature to Lox such as the break statement. However, it evolved into a new language which is no longer compatible Lox over time.

I'm continuing this broader experiment for fun and learning.

Agenda:

• Runtime interfade
  • To be implemented by Interpreter for now
  • Future proof for VM
• Module
  • import statement
  • Module object -- kind of a namespace
• Common ancestor class Object
  • toString
• newline statement terminator
• static (a.k.a. class) methods
  • constructor?
• method/function override by arity
• Explicit instance variable
• Method shadow warning?

  class Foo {
    var bar;
    bar() {} // warning: bar() will not be accessible!
  }
