# LangSandbox
This project is used to illustrate how to build a programming language.
The code present here is discussed in a series of articles.
From these series of tutorials I derived a [book on creating languages].
You may be interested in the companion project ([Kanvas]) where we show how to build an editor for your language.
1. [Define the lexer]
2. [Define the parser]
3. [Build an editor with syntax highlighting] (the code for this part is in [this project][Kanvas])
4. [Build an editor with autocompletion] (the code for this part is in [this project][Kanvas])
5. [Map the parse tree to the abstract syntax tree]
6. [Transform the abstract syntax tree]
7. [Validate the abstract syntax tree]
8. [Generate bytecode]
I hope you enjoy and please let me know if you have issues, ideas, comments or any sort of feedback!
