Description
There are three parts to this project:
We need to revisit some design considerations made while initially building the Program Syntax Framework. This framework is responsible for defining the business logic and rules for units of a program's syntax (literals, expressions, statements, blocks, functions) and maintaining the Syntax Tree that represents a program. There's scope for some work to be done in it's refinement.
The Execution Engine handles the runtime behavior of a program. Currently, it is in a very rudimentary state and is a work-in-progress. The goal is to build a low overhead interpreter that supports pseudo real-time and concurrency. Of course, JavaScript is single-threaded and the JavaScript engine on the browser doesn't support concurrency. So, we'll have to mock a closer behavior with Events.
It is desirable to be able to monitor the runtime states of an executing program. We want to collect execution information, messages, errors while a program is executing, and also control the execution itself. The goal is to add support for the said.
The framework code is contained in github.com/sugarlabs/musicblocks-v4-lib.
