Bug? Report: Syntax error

[sour-dani]

When defining a function not having space between the function parentheses and curly brackets causes a type error

func Main(){
    Printl("Howdy!")
}

ZSharp v2.1.2-alpha

WARNING: unrecognized type '}' on line: 2

Also will there be a syntax/intellisense plugin for VSC in the future?

There is already a syntax highlighting feature in vscode. And I think that you may need to have the opening brace below the “func Main()” call, since that may have worked for me when I tried running it, but I find it weird that programming languages would even check which lines the braces were on. I’m sorry if I sound like I’m ranting, but I’d also like to bring up the fact that Go seems to force one to have the brace on the same line as the function call.

You need to download the ZSharp plugin first.

huh, somehow i missed it when i was first trying this out.

thanks again!

This is probably due to how the parser is written and is probably not meant to be part of the language

[sam-astro]

Definitely, I built the parser in a very poor way, which causes many bad things to happen, such as simple syntax causing errors etc. To fix these issues I think a total rewrite would be required, (among fixing other issues), though I'm not working on this anymore so it doesn't matter too much.

[binyamin555]

Yeah, so I looked at the parser to see how hard it'll be rewriting it and, as you said, found it'll need an entire rewrite with proper planning.

I don't even know how you managed to get this work without an AST.
