# Changelog

## TODO

- Implement AST transformation before codegen:
    Create a new AST to represent PHP source code
    and a THP ast -> PHP ast process, so that the
    codegen section can focus only in codegen, not in
    translation of thp->php.
- Parse __more__ binary operators
- Parse `Type name = value` bindings
- Parse more complex bindings
- Watch mode
- Improve error messages
- Parse other language constructions
- Type checking
- Check for conflicting identifiers
- Namespace identifiers in the symbol table
- Stdlib
- Document code
- Watch mode
- Formatter
- Simple language server
- Decide how to handle comments in the syntax (?)(should comments mean something like in rust?)
