Language Spec Outline

Introduction - In Progress

The introduction describes the scope of the document and provides background context including references, definitions of terms, and the basis of the program execution and memory models.

Lexical Conventions - In Progress

This chapter should fully describe the basic lexical constructs that form a program. And the fundamental basis for how a compiler processes source files.

Missing sections:

• Identifiers
• Keywords
• Operators and punctuators
