1 Leg is an experimental add-on to the Frog compiler that aims to | |
2 explore areas of long-term interest: | |
3 | |
4 * high-performance extensible scanner and parser | |
5 * concrete type inferencing | |
6 * fancy language tool support | |
7 * programming environment integration | |
8 * SSA-based intermediate representation | |
9 * adaptive compilation on the client | |
10 * ... | |
11 | |
12 Some of the things listed above are very experimental of nature and | |
13 may prove themselves infeasible or unnecesary, so we want to work on | |
14 them in a way that guarantees we will not disrupt the work being done | |
15 to make Frog a fantastic compiler for Dart in its default setup. | |
16 | |
17 To keep things simple and allow quick experimentation, Leg will only | |
18 support a subset of Dart and fall back on using the default Frog | |
19 compiler for the remaining parts of the language. We expect Leg to be | |
20 a complete and correct implementation of the supported subset | |
21 throughout the implementation and experimentation so you should always | |
22 be able to try Leg on any Dart project. | |
23 | |
24 The plan is to share code between the default Frog compiler and Leg | |
25 where it makes sense and to learn from both code bases along the way. | |
