Zach-Calc

Zach-Calc is a pet project for me to try and better understand pattern matching, optimization, IRs, and the likes.

./libs/* contains libraries to do things like create IR, interpret IR, optimize IR, and if I have enough time on my hand, lower it to machine code. ./exes/* contains frontends that do things such as parsing the "calculator language", and parsing the domain specific optimization language.
The main Zach-Calc language will be a simple, pure toy language for doing integer mathematics, It will support things like defining and automatically memoizing functions. The Domain-Specific Zach-Opt language will be a declarative lisp-like language that is compiled to a bytecode that the Zach-Calc compiler then uses to optimize IR. I expect the optimization to be the major focus of the project as I learn how optimizations work and how basic language features are built.

After the project is more fleshed out I might write more comprehensive documentation, and possibly blogs about how the project works.
