TODO

• Decide between lineair types / uniqueness vs garbage collector

  • https://borretti.me/article/how-australs-linear-type-checker-works

• Rename constant to literal

• Implement a trace() builtin for debugging

• Check if we can use DataView in the Javascript examples, e.g. with setUint32

• Implement a FizzBuzz example

• Also, check the codes for FIXME and TODO

• Allocation is done using pointers for members, is this desired?

• See if we want to replace Fractional with Real, and add Rational, Irrationl, Algebraic, Transendental

  • Implement q32? q64? Two i32/i64 divided?

• Does Subscript do what we want? It's a language feature rather a normal typed thing. How would you implement your own Subscript-able type?

  • Clean up Subscript implementation - it's half implemented in the compiler. Makes more sense to move more parts to stdlib_types.

• Have a set of rules or guidelines for the constraint comments, they're messy.

• calculate_alloc_size can be reworked; is_member isn't useful with TYPE_INFO_MAP

• Parser is putting stuff in ModuleDataBlock

  • Surely the compiler should build data blocks
  • Also put the struct.pack constants in TYPE_INFO_MAP

• Implemented Bounded: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.21.0.0/docs/Prelude.html#t:Bounded

• Try to implement the min and max functions using select
