## Implementation memo

- A simplified grammar

This `tree-sitter-bqn` provides a parser for a simplified BQN grammar, in which blocks (`subExpr`, `FuncExpr`, `_m1Expr` and `_m2_Expr`) are unified as a typeless `block` type.

So you get the following from `{⋆}{𝔾𝔽¨𝕩}+{𝔽´}{↕10}`:

```
(source_file [0, 0] - [1, 0]
(STMT [0, 0] - [0, 15]
(EXPR [0, 0] - [0, 15]
(subExpr [0, 0] - [0, 15]
(arg [0, 0] - [0, 15]
(subject [0, 0] - [0, 3]
(atom [0, 0] - [0, 3]
(block [0, 0] - [0, 3]
(CASE_end [0, 1] - [0, 2]
(BODY [0, 1] - [0, 2]
(STMT [0, 1] - [0, 2]
(EXPR [0, 1] - [0, 2]
(FuncExpr [0, 1] - [0, 2]
(Train [0, 1] - [0, 2]
(Fork [0, 1] - [0, 2]
(Derv [0, 1] - [0, 2]
(Func [0, 1] - [0, 2]
(symbol_Fl [0, 1] - [0, 2])))))))))))))
(Derv [0, 3] - [0, 11]
(Func [0, 3] - [0, 11]
(block [0, 3] - [0, 11]
(CASE_end [0, 4] - [0, 10]
(BODY [0, 4] - [0, 10]
(STMT [0, 4] - [0, 10]
(EXPR [0, 4] - [0, 10]
(FuncExpr [0, 4] - [0, 10]
(Train [0, 4] - [0, 10]
(Fork [0, 4] - [0, 10]
(Derv [0, 4] - [0, 10]
(Operand [0, 4] - [0, 8]
(Derv [0, 4] - [0, 8]
(Func [0, 4] - [0, 8]
(specialname_F [0, 4] - [0, 8]))))
(mod_1 [0, 8] - [0, 10]
(symbol__ml [0, 8] - [0, 10])))))))))))))
(subExpr [0, 11] - [0, 15]
(arg [0, 11] - [0, 15]
(subject [0, 11] - [0, 15]
(atom [0, 11] - [0, 15]
(block [0, 11] - [0, 15]
(CASE_end [0, 12] - [0, 14]
(BODY [0, 12] - [0, 14]
(STMT [0, 12] - [0, 14]
(EXPR [0, 12] - [0, 14]
(subExpr [0, 12] - [0, 14]
(arg [0, 12] - [0, 14]
(subject [0, 12] - [0, 14]
(atom [0, 12] - [0, 14]
(symbol_sl [0, 12] - [0, 14]
(number [0, 12] - [0, 14])))))))))))))))))))
```

- This is a CFG but not LR(1)

Thanks to GLR parser, `(((+))(((⌜))))((˜))((↕)10)` is parsed as

```

# A configuration for Helix

Are you a [Helix](https://helix-editor.com/) user? Then try:

1. Add the following to your $CONFIG/helix/languages.toml (Note: this does not include settings for bqnlsp. Please check [the wiki](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/wiki/How-to-install-the-default-language-servers#bqn) about it.)

```toml
[[language]]
name = "bqn"
language-id = "bqn"
file-types = ["bqn"]
injection-regex = "bqn"
scope = "source.bqn"
roots = []
comment-token = "#"
indent = { tab-width = 2, unit = " " }
shebangs = ["BQN", "CBQN", "bqn", "cbqn"]

[[grammar]]
name = "bqn"
source.git = "https://github.com/shnarazk/tree-sitter-bqn"
source.rev = "a56f2d20ee42d39afe67730eeb13c2f41e1b0877" or something new

[language.auto-pairs]
'(' = ')'
'{' = '}'
'[' = ']'
"'" = "'"
'"' = '"'
'⟨' = '⟩'
```

2. Build up on shell:

```
$ hx -g fetch
$ hx -g build
```

3. Copy query files:

```
$ mkdir -p $HELIX/runtime/queries/bqn
$ cp -r queries $HELIX/runtime/queries/bqn
```

Now you can:
- expand/shrink selection by moving up/down on AST as we expect
- indent after `:`, `?`, `{`, `⟨` and so on, and outdent at `}`, `⟩`, `;` and so on
- traverse function blocks by `]f` and `[f`
- traverse function headers by `]a` and `[a`
- traverse namespaces by `]t` and `[t`
- traverse comments by `]c` and `[c`
