De-Lisp the syntax #14

Closed joews closed 7 years ago

joews commented 7 years ago

Peach started out as a Lisp but I want to take it in a different direction: somehow it doesn't fit with static typing. Also, I want the language to feel natural to people with some JavaScript experience.

At first:

[x] Add ~~vector~~ array syntax [] #15
[x] Remove quoted expressions #15
[x] DestructuredList -> Destructured~~Vector~~Array #15
[x] List -> Call #15
[x] Rename vector -> array
[x] ? -> Regular if/else construct
[x] == for equality
[x] def-> infix Name = Expression
[x] Comment is # only

Bigger changes to make later:

Infix operators #22
Paren-less function calls / parens for generic grouping #23
