Silver

The Silver Programming Language

A simple language and its Visual Studio Language Service.

Composition

• tokens
• a scanner that can tokenize.
• grammar, and a parser that can scan a stream of tokens and accept that grammar.
• reify the accepted grammar as an AST.
• symbol table, and traverse the AST and do semantic analysis.
• traverse the AST and do codegen.
• introduce a language service based on the LSP (see here for an example).
