There is a wonderful quote from Yoda about how to use The Force

A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

We can probably use that, plus some other Yoda-isms to create a fun License we can use as a dual License

Writing everything with quotes can be difficult. Add support to convert a file using the key words the quotes represent into The Force. Investigate ways to not have multiple "sources of truth" in the Grammar and in where this is added.

To avoid unexpected breaking changes, once we have a good handle on the language, we should give it a version number and release it on GitHub

It would be great to have basic syntax highlighting in editors. As a place to start, it seems Textmate grammar is the standard way to do that, to support things like VSCode

And improve the error messages in general

There is currently only a hello world and a Fizz Buzz program in our examples folder. It'd be great to provide more examples for people to learn (or just have fun with)!

Please comment below with the program you are working on and make a separate PR once it's ready! I'm happy to help give suggestions

All examples should run without errors. If possible, with correctness too (though that might require recording their output and checking against that, which could muddy the repo some)

Not quite sure how to do it, but it'd be really fun to have a video (or maybe the metadata to build a video) that would combine clips that contain the quotes into a playable video in the order the program is execute or just parsed.

Pulled from #13. Doing so to have a more clear cut type story (dynamic and strong)

Separating out the parse with a CLI flag shouldn't be too difficult (I think)

Though the language works, some things could probably be improved or changed. We should do the things we know now before we start versioning things (#4). Working list:

• The True and false quotes should either both be the full quotes or just partial ones #28
• Reading values is finicky #27
• Variable types can change at any point, consider restricting that or streamlining process #23
• Decide if replacing an existing variable is possible #23
• Consider making true and false values print the quotes, instead of just true or false #29
• Consider swapping and and or #28
• Consider making not void a void keyword instead #28
• [ ] Check function returns for edge cases
• General look through of operations and statement combinations to see if some might be better suited together (for instance, matching a Yoda quote with a Yoda quote) #28

We should make a simple CLI tool to:

• run the code from a file (#19)
• provide a version number
• provide help

Stretch ideas, not necessary for the first pass

• [ ] Check for errors
• [ ] REPL experience
• [ ] Compiler (assuming this works #11)

It would be awesome if we could have the option to compile The Force with LLVM. May need to break this issue down more to be useful

The design file is currently out-of-date, as it was used to help figure out the first iteration of the language. We should use it as an introduction to the language, so people have something more than just the examples and source itself

It would be great to support a REPL for testing and playing with the project

With inspiration from the Episode numbering, it might be fund to support roman numerals as an option for regular numbers. Their may be a more in-universe syntax or option as well, but I couldn't think of one we could actually enter as text

Should describe the project more, with some basic examples, instructions on how to run, a copyright disclaimer that we don't own any of the quotes. Contributing process maybe too. Mention the Licenses too

There might be some clever set of Star Wars comment characters (make it look like an X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Lightsaber, etc). But even without that, we should have some way to add comments
