LoLa is a small programming language meant to be embedded into games.
Add a new data structure that works similar to arrays, but uses names as indices instead of numbers: ```js var struct = [ .x = 10, .y = 20, ];...
Implement serialization of a virtual machine state. Design problem: How to serialize the call stack? Long-running functions require a possibility to be serialized, same for reconstruction of Environment pointers
Right now, the LoLa implementation is only usable from within Zig and is not C compatible. This should change so other people can embed the runtime and compiler in foreign-language...
For the standalone version of LoLa, implement means to compile LoLa code at runtime via a `Compile` function. > **`Compile(source: string) object|void`** > Compiles the given LoLa `source` and returns...
For the standalone version of LoLa, implement means to allow scripts to be connected via a network interface. The implementation could have the following interface: > **`Connect(hostname: string, [port: number]):...
Think about this: ```js function SumOf(a: number, b: number): number { return a + b; } ``` This depends on #22, as otherwise the type annotation would not make sense.
Allow the compiler to precalculate constant expressions to reduce runtime overhead. Example: ```js var foo = 10 * 3 + 2; ``` can be optimized to ```js var foo =...
Use something like [SSA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form) to detect that local variable slots can be reused, so the virtual machine can do smaller allocations for local variables.
