The parser now correctly produces a workable AST. I think I'll skip over the optimizer, and begin on the compiler next session. The optimizer will act directly on the AST, but it isn't totally necessary. Other tools can also operate on the AST, such as for debugging - I'll have to ask what kinds are out there.
Toy
The Toy programming language is an imperative, bytecode-interpreted, embedded scripting language. Rather than functioning independently, it serves as part of another program, the "host". This design allows for straightforward customization by both the host’s developer and end users, achieved by exposing program logic through text files.
This repository holds the reference implementation for Toy version 2.x, written in C.
