Create a meta-language for file type specification #5

Open naterush opened 5 years ago

naterush commented 5 years ago

In the abstract, it would be nice to be able to specify what files look like in some meta-language.

However, as I specify more file formats, I'm less convinced that this is tenable... we might just be writing a full programming language anyways.

We could use protobuffers as a great compilation target: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/pythontutorial

Part of this goal should be to allow multi-language support for the generation of objects!
