mpro compiler #1

Hi,

I'm trhinking about creating compiler for mlog as my school project. (I've seed the TODO in Readme)

Have you created anything? Just asking so I do not create the same thing but rather build on top of your work (if there is any) :)

Thanks for this extension.

That would be so cool!

I had started designing a compiler for a new language, dubbed mpro shortly after initially creating this extension, but I haven't had the time to work on it in a while. It is currently a private repo because I didn't want people adding issues saying "addition doesn't work" and so on when I know very well that basic math does not work.

The compiler is written in TypeScript in order to more easily integrate into the VSCode extension, but I opted for a separate repo so people could integrate it into other projects too. I'll go ahead and add you as a contributor to that repo so you can take a look at it. There should be some resources in the README to help you get started if you are unfamiliar with compilers (as I was prior to starting the project).

Since I have to written 100% of code in my project I cannot directly continue with your work. However I can create parser for mlog in haskell and runtime in ts or rust

Will keep you updated.

Ok, sounds good!

Of course it'd be great if you were able to contribute to my existing code, but I understand why you can't. Writing a runtime in TypeScript seems like a good in-between for now, but it might be nice to have it entirely written in TypeScript eventually.

As I am not familiar with Haskell, I do not know how much help I can provide for this. You may be better off creating a new Repo for now--I think I should still be able to integrate the code into the extension.

Hmm, I wanted to try those 2 languages (just learning them), but TS seems like a better choice for this project (it can run in browser & is well known). So I created this MVP: https://mlogsim.kaifer.cz/

Any thoughts? I hope it will be easy to integrate it with your VSCode extension (after my teacher checks it).

Also someone was faster with a compiler. However, they do it with their own backend with Java :(. https://www.reddit.com/r/Mindustry/comments/m60qli/mindcode_a_higher_level_language_that_compiles/

Sorry I took a while to get back to you!

That's super cool! I think that could be a really cool thing to include in the extension! Maybe implementing it as a webview would work, or perhaps it's worth digging into the debugger API to step through the code (though I'm not familiar with that). I'd be happy to review a pull request to integrate that into the extension!

Figures someone got around to making a full compiler first, but at least they didn't take the name I came up with!

Hi, I think I've made something similar to what this is looking for? https://github.com/BalaM314/mlogx https://github.com/BalaM314/vscode-mlogx
