Roadmap

[dibyendumajumdar]

Parsing

• Revise the AST design once the language is stable
• Parser needs to record line numbers for AST nodes
• Error handling improvements

Semantic Analysis and Types

• Improve error reporting
• Figure out how to implement error reporting using Poison types

Stack VM

• Implement VM

Opt VM

• Global Value Numbering / CSE
• Alias Analysis
• Detect when values are not null during constant propagation
• Do graph coloring register allocation from SSA form avoiding step to exit SSA

Sea of Nodes

• Verify the SON backend by writing tests
• Incorporate fixes from upstream
• Simplify the SON implementation by removing features not required
• Separate out the code generation to a reusable part - potentially for use by Opt VM
