Documentation Structure

NOTE: The documentation for this language is incomplete.

The language specification is divided into several parts:

1. Syntax and Basics: Variables, primitive types, operators, and basic syntax.
2. Control Flow: if-else expressions, for and while loops.
3. Compound Types: Defining struct and enum types.
4. Functions and Closures: Defining and calling functions, differentiating functions from closures.
5. Generics: Writing code that works with multiple types.
6. Implementations and Traits: Defining behavior on types and describing types via shared behavior.
7. Modules: Code organization using import and export.
8. Standard Library: Extra features provided by the native standard library.
9. Memory Model: A deep dive into Polyscript's stack, heap, and reference counting system.
10. Compiler Internals: An explanation of the compiler's architecture and compilation pipeline.

Usage

After compiling the compiler into an executable ./polyscriptcc, running ./polyscriptcc --help will give further instructions as to how to compile a Polyscript program. The native standard library is provided here.
