Combine expression representations using the 'trees that grow' design pattern.
Trees that grow introduces a lot of boilerplate but is bound to be essentially necessary
when I add in the type checker and all sorts of builtin data types.
(I know this because I already *implemented* those things;
it's mostly a matter of trying to merge it all into this codebase).

Accomplishing this also involved restructuring the project
and rewriting a few algorithms in the process,
but those changes are fundamentally intwined with this one.

Add support for call/cc (though the implementation's kinda hacky). 2021-03-05 23:38:21 -08:00

Make the parser produce a subtly better AST.
This is done by requiring applications to be at least 2 terms,
and making grouping a syntactic feature instead of a feature of applications.

I also made the code a bit more clear by handling whitespace a bit more cleanly;
now, each parser is responsible for its own trailing whitespace,
and whitespace handling is pushed down to the token level
to avoid cluttering high-level definitions with whitespace stuff.

This all also had the effect of improving error messages,
in part due to me labelling many of the parsers.

Make the printer smarter, separate intermediate AST data type.
* The expression printer now knows how to use `let`, multi-argument lambdas and applications, and block arguments when appropriate.
* There is a separate type, AbstractSyntax, which separates parsing/printing logic from removing/reintroducing the more advanced syntax described above.
* Expression is now its own module because its 'show' depends on AbstractSyntax,
  and I don't want the ast2expr/expr2ast stuff to be in the same module as the real lambda calculus stuff.
