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