-- This file contains the source code of the Nomsu compiler.
-- Nomsu is a programming language that cross-compiles to Lua. It was designed to be good
-- at natural-language-like code that is highly self-modifying and flexible.
-- The only dependency is LPEG, which can be installed using "luarocks install lpeg"
-- File usage:
--    Either, in a lua/moonscript file:
--        Nomsu = require "nomsu"
--        nomsu = Nomsu()
--        nomsu:run(your_nomsu_code)
--    Or from the command line:
--        lua nomsu.lua [input_file [output_file or -]]

colored = setmetatable({}, {__index:(_,color)-> ((msg)-> colors[color]..msg..colors.reset)})
{:insert, :remove, :concat} = table
--pcall = (fn,...)-> true, fn(...)

-- TODO:
-- use actual variables instead of a vars table
-- consider non-linear codegen, rather than doing thunks for things like comprehensions
-- improve indentation of generated lua code
-- provide way to run precompiled nomsu -> lua code from nomsu
-- better scoping?
-- better error reporting
-- fix propagation of filename for error reporting
-- add line numbers of function calls
-- type checking?
-- Fix compiler bug that breaks when file ends with a block comment
