Holy Guacamole I’m So Excited

Insane progress over the past few days has occurred, in large part due to my travels on train, and my apparent ability to lock in when I start seeing things.

Codegen

Probably the most recognizable part of the project, Katnip can now generate scratch code. Blocks are being made, and complex patterns written in the IR are finally revealing themselves.

It is so important that you look at the pictures, as the improvements made here are hard to put into words.

Writing this part was arguably the most fun part of the entire project. This part was more scratch-like than any other part so far (“well duh, its the closest stage” you might be saying. And you’d be right.)

IR

Writing a majority did not come without its need for the IR to step up its game. I was quite fed up with 0 visual progress, so I jumped to codegen to boost my morale for the improvements made to the IR.

This includes dict and list slicing, and a proper handling of booleans.

I’m so excited
