The following is a short and drafted schedule for the POOL project, it doesn’t contain any dates and should only give an idea, what I’m going to do next in the project and what I’ve already done.
Almost done
Create a draft of the syntax (I’ve to admit that I’m currently working on the class syntax and on the variable container syntax)
TODO
Publish the draft
Figure out the core libraries (like System, etc.)
Parser grammar, which produces the AST
Tree filters to optimize and annotate the AST (convert for example 2+3 to 5)
Tree based interpreter
Objects, scope, functions, etc.
Tree based interpretation
Optimization of the interpreter
More built in libraries
Language manual with lot’s of example code and a website as I think the project will (after creating a tree based interpreter) more than half a year old.
Byte code based interpreter aka Virtual Machine
Byte code compiler
Byte code interpreter aka VM
