spec: update codegen-js.md to Phase 5, ~90% coverage

Status updated from Phase 4 ~80% to Phase 5 ~90%. New sections: - 7. Language features coverage table (supported vs stubbed) - 7a. Phase 5 constructs: extern fn, anonymous functions, try/catch, method call on Any, URL imports -- each with emit shape examples - 9. Roadmap updated: Phases 1-5 marked DONE, Phase 6 unblocked Runtime builtin table updated to ~90 builtins including all Phase 5 additions (promise_then/catch/resolve/reject, object_assign/keys/values, json_deep_clone, array_from, type_of, instanceof_check).
examples: rewrite browser-auth.el using new language features

-// The graph is the lowered (diagram-form) shape. The result map has:
-//   "node_pos_<id>"      → { "x":Float, "y":Float }   centre point
-//   "node_size_<id>"     → { "w":Float, "h":Float }

-//   "canvas"             → { "w":Float, "h":Float }
-//
-// Floats are El-encoded — store via the runtime's bit-cast convention.
-// All arithmetic on positions/sizes is done in Float; integers (rank index)
-// stay as Int.
-//
-// Algorithm (simplified Sugiyama):
-//   1. Assign ranks via topological propagation (longest path from sources).
-//   2. Group nodes by rank, preserving declaration order.
-//   3. Position each rank as a row (top-down/bottom-up) or column (LR/RL).
-//   4. Compute group bounding boxes from member positions.
-//   5. Compute canvas size to enclose everything.
-//
-// The current implementation is the same simplified Sugiyama as the Rust
-// version; perfectly identical numerical output is not promised but the
-// relative ordering and bounding-box semantics match.

-// arbor-render — SVG emission from a laid-out diagram.
-//
-// Entry point:
-//   fn arbor_render_svg(graph: Map, layout: Map, forbidden: [String]) -> String
-//
-// The graph is the lowered (diagram-form) shape produced by arbor-core /
-// arbor-diagram (`title`, `direction`, `nodes`, `edges`, `groups`). The
-// layout is whatever arbor-layout returned: `node_pos_<id>`, `node_size_<id>`,
-// `group_bounds_<id>`, `node_ids`, `group_ids`, `canvas`.
-//
-// `forbidden` is a list of "from->to" key strings — same format as
-// arbor-core's collect_forbidden(). The Rust crate threaded a HashSet
-// through; El threads a list and we linear-scan.
-//
-// SVG is text emission — straightforward El. Every float coordinate is
-// passed through format_float(_, 1) for stable output.
-//
-// ── PNG render is intentionally out of scope ────────────────────────────────
-// The Rust crate rasterises via resvg → tiny_skia → png. The El runtime
-// today exposes no equivalent: there is no resvg, no usvg, no font rasterer,
-// no PNG encoder, no path-fill code. fs_write writes text only — there is
-// no binary write primitive. arbor_render_png() returns an error map in El
-// until the runtime grows a rasterer (see "runtime gaps" in the report).

-// morphology-akk.el - Akkadian morphology for the NLG engine.
-//                     𒀭𒂗𒍪 — Akkadian (akkadû), the language of Babylon and Assyria.
-//
-// Implements Old Babylonian Akkadian verb conjugation (G-stem / Grundstamm),
-// noun declension with mimation, and noun-phrase construction.
-//
-// Akkadian is the oldest attested Semitic language (ca. 2800–100 BCE).
-// It uses cuneiform script; we work in standard Latin transliteration
-// (Old Babylonian dialect — the classical prestige form).
-//
-// Language profile:
-//   code=akk, name=Akkadian, morph_type=semitic, word_order=VSO/SOV,
-//   script=cuneiform (transliterated), family=semitic/east-semitic
-//
-// Key grammatical facts:
-//   - Semitic trilateral root system: words built from 3-consonant roots
-//     by inserting vowel patterns (e.g. root p-r-s → iparras "he decides")
-//   - Grammatical gender: masculine / feminine (no neuter)
-//   - Cases: nominative (-um), accusative (-am), genitive (-im) — "mimation"
-//   - Number: singular / plural (dual is vestigial in verbs)
-//   - Verb stems: G (basic), D (intensive), Š (causative), N (passive);
-//     this file implements G-stem throughout
-//   - Two main tense/aspect systems:
-//       Present-future (iparras pattern): action in progress or future
-//       Perfect (iptaras pattern): completed action with present relevance
-//       Stative (paris pattern): resultant state, often adjectival
-//   - No definite or indefinite article; case endings convey
-//     determination contextually
-//   - Copula: bašû (to exist/be)
-//
-// Verb conjugation conventions:
-//   person:  "first" | "second" | "third"
-//   gender:  "m" | "f"
-//   number:  "singular" | "plural"
-//   tense:   "present" | "perfect" | "stative"
-//
-// Noun declension conventions:
-//   gram_case: "nom" | "acc" | "gen"
-//   number:    "singular" | "plural"
-//   gender:    "m" | "f"   (passed to akk_decline for gender-specific forms)
-//
-// Verbs covered (G-stem infinitive, transliterated):
-//   "bašû"   — to exist / be  (copula)
-//   "alāku"  — to go
-//   "amāru"  — to see
-//   "qabû"   — to say
-//   "epēšu"  — to do / make
-//
-// Nouns covered with known mimation forms:
-//   "šarrum"  — king
-//   "awīlum"  — man / person
-//   "bītum"   — house
-//   "ilum"    — god

-// We use a 6-cell paradigm matching the most common OB presentation:

-// morphology-ang.el - Old English (Anglo-Saxon) morphology for the NLG engine.
-//
-// Implements Old English verb conjugation, noun declension, and the definite
-// article/demonstrative pronoun.  Designed as a companion to morphology.el and
-// called by the engine when the language profile code is "ang".
-//
-// Language profile: code=ang, name=Old English, morph_type=fusional,
-//   word_order=SOV, question_strategy=intonation, script=latin, family=germanic.
-//
-// Typology note: Old English is a synthetic Germanic language with four
-// grammatical cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative), three genders,
-// and strong/weak noun and verb classes.  Strong verbs form their past tense by
-// internal vowel change (ablaut); weak verbs use a dental (-de/-ode) suffix.
-// Long vowels are marked with a macron (ā ē ī ō ū) and are preserved in all
-// string literals; ǣ, æ, þ, ð, and ƿ (wynn) are used where historically
-// appropriate.  V2 (verb-second) word order applies in main clauses but is not
-// enforced by this module — the realizer handles constituent ordering.
-//
-// Verb conjugation covered:
-//   Tenses:    present, past
-//   Persons:   first/second/third × singular/plural (slots 0-5)
-//   Classes:   weak (regular -ian), strong irregular table
-//   Irregulars: wesan/beon (be), habban (have), gān (go), cuman (come),
-//               secgan (say), sēon (see), dōn (do), willan (want), magan (can)
-//   Canonical map: "be" -> "wesan" (past) / "beon" (present)
-//
-// Noun declension covered:
-//   Strong masc a-stem  (cyning pattern): nom/acc -∅, gen -es, dat -e; pl -as/-a/-um
-//   Strong neut a-stem  (word pattern):   sg same as masc; pl nom/acc -∅
-//   Weak n-stem         (nama pattern):   sg nom -a, obl -an; pl -an/-ena/-um

-//
-// Form I perfect: root-past-stem (e.g. كَتَبَ kataba) + suffix.
-// The 3ms form IS the base (no suffix added).  All other persons add a suffix
-// that replaces or follows the final short vowel of the base.
-//
-// Pattern (dropping the final -a of the 3ms base, then adding):
-//   3ms:  -a      (base as given)
-//   3fs:  -at
-//   2ms:  -ta
-//   2fs:  -ti
-//   1s:   -tu

-//   3fp:  -na
-//   2mp:  -tum
-//   2fp:  -tunna
-//   1p:   -naa
-//
-// The base passed to ar_conjugate_form1 is the full 3ms form (ends in -a).
-// For suffixed forms we drop the final vowel character (1 byte = the -a) then
-// apply the suffix.  In Arabic script the final short vowel (fatha ـَ) on the
-// last consonant of the base is part of the grapheme cluster of that consonant;
-// for our stored strings the form كَتَبَ is stored with the final fatha attached
-// to the ب.  The suffix strings already include the vowel that replaces it, so
-// we drop 1 character from the base.
-//
-// For simplicity the suffixes below are given as Arabic transliteration that
-// the El string system handles as UTF-8.  The actual Arabic forms are stored
-// as UTF-8 Arabic script literals.

-//
-// Implements Coptic verb conjugation (bipartite and tripartite patterns), noun

-// Designed as a companion to morphology.el; called when language code is "cop".
-//
-// Language profile: code=cop, name=Coptic, morph_type=agglutinative,
-//   word_order=SVO, question_strategy=particle, script=coptic, family=afro-asiatic-egyptian.
-//
-// Script: Coptic uses the Greek alphabet plus seven additional letters borrowed
-// from Demotic Egyptian.  All Coptic-script characters in this file use their
-// correct Unicode code points (Coptic block U+2C80–U+2CFF; Coptic letters also
-// appear in the Greek block: ϣ U+03E3, ϥ U+03E5, ϩ U+03E9, ϫ U+03EB, ϭ U+03ED).
-//
-// The El runtime stores strings as byte arrays.  String literals with Coptic
-// Unicode characters are encoded as UTF-8 and compared via str_eq byte equality.
-// The runtime limitation on non-ASCII *output display* does not affect internal
-// string logic — str_eq and concatenation work correctly.
-//
-// Grammatical notes (Sahidic Coptic, ca. 200–1000 CE):
-//   - SVO word order (Greek influence; reversed from classical Egyptian)
-//   - Definite articles prefixed directly to the noun (no space):
-//       p- (masc sg), t- (fem sg), n- (plural) — definite
-//       ou- (sg indefinite), hen- (pl indefinite)
-//   - Grammatical gender: masculine / feminine (still active)
-//   - No case endings — grammatical role expressed by word order + prepositions
-//   - Verb tense/aspect expressed by conjugation base (bipartite pattern):
-//       Present I:   pronoun prefix + verb stem  ("f-bwk" = he goes)
-//       Perfect:     a- + pronoun prefix + verb   ("a-f-bwk" = he went)
-//       Future:      pronoun prefix + na- + verb  ("f-na-bwk" = he will go)

-// German is a fusional language with:
-//   - 4 grammatical cases: nominative, accusative, dative, genitive
-//   - 3 genders:           masculine (m), feminine (f), neuter (n)
-//   - 2 numbers:           singular, plural
-//   - Strong and weak verb classes
-//
-// Conventions used throughout:
-//   gender:  "m" | "f" | "n"
-//   case:    "nom" | "acc" | "dat" | "gen"
-//   number:  "sg" | "pl"

-// morphology-egy.el - Ancient Egyptian (Middle Egyptian) morphology for the NLG engine.
-//
-// Implements Middle Egyptian verb conjugation (sdm=f / sdm.n=f paradigm),
-// noun number marking, suffix pronouns, and noun phrase assembly.
-// Designed as a companion to morphology.el; called when language code is "egy".
-//
-// Language profile: code=egy, name=Ancient Egyptian, morph_type=agglutinative,
-//   word_order=SVO (Middle Egyptian nominal sentences), question_strategy=particle,
-//   script=hieroglyphic (transliterated here as ASCII), family=afro-asiatic-egyptian.
-//
-// Script note: Classical transliteration uses special characters (ꜣ ꜥ ḥ ḫ ẖ š q ṯ ḏ).
-// This engine uses a safe ASCII mapping:
-//   A = ꜣ (aleph/glottal stop)   a = ꜥ (ayin)
-//   H = ḥ (h with dot)           x = ḫ (velar fricative)
-//   X = ẖ (emphatic h)           sh = š (sh sound)
-//   q = q (emphatic k)           T = ṯ (tj sound)
-//   D = ḏ (dj sound)
-// This mapping keeps all string literals ASCII-safe for the El runtime.
-//
-// Grammatical notes (Middle Egyptian, ca. 2000–1300 BCE):
-//   - Aspectual system: Imperfective (sdm=f), Perfective (sdm.n=f), Prospective
-//   - "tense" labels used here: "present" (imperfective), "past" (perfective),
-//     "future" (prospective/sdm.xr=f), "infinitive"
-//   - Two grammatical genders: masculine (unmarked) and feminine (suffix -t)
-//   - Number: singular (unmarked), dual (-wy masc / -ty fem), plural (-w masc / -wt fem)
-//   - No case endings — syntactic role expressed by word order and prepositions
-//   - No definite/indefinite article in Middle Egyptian (Late Egyptian introduced pꜣ/tꜣ/nꜣ)
-//   - Zero copula: adjectival predicates need no verb "to be" ("nfr sw" = "he is good")
-//   - Suffix pronouns attach directly to the verb stem with = (e.g. sdm=f "he hears")
-//
-// Persons/numbers covered (suffix pronoun paradigm):
-//   person:  "first" | "second" | "third"
-//   gender:  "m" | "f" (relevant for 2sg, 3sg; 1sg and plurals often unmarked)
-//   number:  "singular" | "dual" | "plural"
-//
-// Verbs covered (ASCII transliteration → gloss):
-//   wnn      — to be/exist (copular auxiliary)
-//   rdi / di — to give
-//   mAA      — to see
-//   Dd       — to say
-//   Sm       — to go
-//   iri      — to do / make
-//   sdm      — to hear (the paradigm verb for the sdm=f construction)
-//
-// Canonical English → Egyptian mapping:
-//   "be"    → wnn / zero copula   "give" → rdi
-//   "see"   → mAA                 "say"  → Dd
-//   "go"    → Sm                  "do"   → iri
-//   "make"  → iri                 "hear" → sdm

-// morphology-enm.el - Middle English morphology for the NLG engine.

-// morphology.el and called by the engine when the language profile code is "enm".
-//
-// Language profile: code=enm, name=Middle English, morph_type=analytic,
-//   word_order=SVO, question_strategy=inversion, script=latin, family=germanic.
-//
-// Verb conjugation covered:

-//   Classes:  weak (productive: -est 2sg, -eth 3sg, -en pl; past: -ede/-de/-te)
-//   Irregulars: been/ben (be), han/haven (have), goon (go), seen (see),
-//               seyn/seyen (say), comen (come), maken (make)
-//   Canonical map: "be" -> "been"
-//
-// Noun declension covered:

-// morphology-fi.el - Finnish morphology: noun case inflection and verb conjugation.
-//
-// Finnish is SOV, agglutinative, 15 grammatical cases, no grammatical gender,
-// no articles.  Morphology is suffix-chain based.
-//
-// Key facts:
-//   - Vowel harmony: suffixes harmonize with the stem's vowel class.
-//     Back vowels (a, o, u) → back-harmony suffixes (-ssa, -sta, -an, etc.)
-//     Front vowels (ä, ö, y) or neutral-only stems → front-harmony (-ssä, -stä, -än, etc.)
-//   - Consonant gradation: alternation between strong and weak consonant grades.
-//     Full gradation tables are large; this module implements the most common
-//     patterns.  Irregular/exceptional stems must be supplied in inflected form.
-//   - Verbs conjugate for person (1/2/3) and number (singular/plural), plus tense
-//     (present/past) and polarity (affirmative/negative).
-//   - Question suffix: -ko (back harmony) / -kö (front harmony), appended to verb.

-//
-// Verb tenses covered: present, future, imparfait, passé composé.
-// Persons: first/second/third × singular/plural.
-// Verb groups: -er (regular), -ir (regular finir-type), -re (regular vendre-type)

-// Historical note: Old French (ca. 900–1400 CE) is the ancestor of Modern
-// French.  It diverged from Vulgar Latin and retained a two-case system —
-// nominative (cas sujet) and oblique (cas régime) — inherited ultimately from
-// Latin.  By around 1300 CE the case distinction had largely collapsed in
-// spoken usage, surviving mainly in formal written registers until it
-// disappeared altogether.  This file targets the core Old French period
-// (ca. 1000–1300).
-//
-// Two-case system (masculine nouns):
-//   Singular:  nominative stem + -s  (li murs = the wall [subject])
-//              oblique    stem       (le mur  = the wall [object])
-//   Plural:    nominative stem       (li mur  = the walls [subject])
-//              oblique    stem + -s  (les murs = the walls [object])
-//   Feminine nouns show no case distinction throughout.

Roadmap updated: Phases 1-5 marked DONE, Phase 6 unblocked Runtime builtin table updated to ~90 builtins including all Phase 5 additions (promise_then/catch/resolve/reject, object_assign/keys/values, json_deep_clone, array_from, type_of, instanceof_check).	2026-05-04 11:03:47 -05:00
Will Anderson	aa7d97d5ba	examples: rewrite browser-auth.el using new language features No native_js or native_js_call anywhere. Full browser auth flow expressed with proper El constructs: - extern fn supabase_create_client(url, key) -> Any Declares the Supabase CDN global without an El function body. - client.auth.signInWithOtp(opts) Direct method call chain on Any-typed value. The client is built by calling the extern fn; .auth field access and .signInWithOtp(opts) method call emit clean JS without any escape hatch. - try { ... } catch (err: Any) { ... } Wraps the auth call; unexpected runtime errors are caught and shown to the user rather than crashing silently. - fn(event: Any) -> Void { ... } Inline anonymous function literals for DOM event listeners instead of named forward-declared callbacks. The rewrite is the proof: every browser JavaScript pattern used in a real auth flow can now be expressed structurally in El.	2026-05-04 11:02:13 -05:00
Will Anderson	7040830470	codegen-js: URL import declarations for JS modules import "https://cdn.example.com/lib.js" now emits: - module mode: import "https://..." at the top of the generated file - bundle/IIFE mode: // external: https://... comment El source imports (.el files) are excluded -- they were already inlined by resolve_imports before codegen. Any import path that doesn't end in .el or starts with http(s):// is treated as an external JS dependency.	2026-05-04 11:01:36 -05:00
Will Anderson	3a513aaa5a	runtime + codegen-js: Promise helpers and object/array utilities Add to el_runtime.js: promise_then(p, cb) -- p.then(cb), works with any Promise-returning API promise_catch(p, cb) -- p.catch(cb) promise_resolve(val) -- Promise.resolve(val) promise_reject(msg) -- Promise.reject(new Error(msg)) object_assign(t, s) -- Object.assign({}, t, s) (non-mutating) object_keys(obj) -- Object.keys(obj) object_values(obj) -- Object.values(obj) json_deep_clone(obj) -- JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj)) array_from(iterable) -- Array.from(iterable) type_of(val) -- typeof val instanceof_check(v, n) -- val instanceof globalThis[name] All new functions added to __el export object and ES named exports. codegen-js preamble destructure updated to include all new names.	2026-05-04 11:01:14 -05:00
Will Anderson	beb2a8c5bd	lexer + parser + codegen: try/catch statement try { ... } catch (name: Type) { ... } is now a first-class El statement. Lexer: `try` and `catch` are now keywords (Try, Catch token kinds). Parser: TryCatch AST node with try_body, catch_name, catch_body. codegen-js: emits try { ... } catch (name) { ... } directly -- correct for all browser error handling patterns. codegen.el (C backend): emits the try body with a comment; exception handling is a no-op since C has no analogous mechanism. Programs using try/catch should compile with --target=js. The catch variable type annotation is parsed and skipped (same treatment as all other type annotations in El).	2026-05-04 11:00:24 -05:00
Will Anderson	e23319fe0b	parser + codegen-js: anonymous function literals (lambda syntax) fn(params) -> RetType { body } is now valid in expression position. The parser produces a Lambda AST node. codegen-js emits a hoisted JS function declaration with a generated name (__lambda_N) and returns the name as the expression value, so inline callbacks compose cleanly: dom_listen(btn, "click", fn(event: Any) -> Void { handle(event) }) emits: function __lambda_1(event) { handle(event); } dom_listen(btn, "click", __lambda_1); The hoisted-declaration strategy is debuggable, has no closure-capture issues, and requires no string-buffer mode in the codegen.	2026-05-04 10:59:17 -05:00
Will Anderson	01fee9396a	codegen-js: native JS method dispatch and extern fn support Any-typed receiver method calls now emit obj.method(args) directly instead of requiring native_js_call. client.auth.signInWithOtp(p) compiles to client["auth"].signInWithOtp(p) -- no escape hatch needed. Field access emits obj["field"] (direct bracket notation) instead of el_get_field, so prototype-inherited JS properties resolve correctly. el_get_field's hasOwnProperty guard was silently returning null for real JS objects with inherited fields (Supabase auth, DOM APIs, etc). El runtime shortform methods (append, len, get, map_get, map_set) still use the existing method(obj, args) convention for backward compat. ExternFn statements emit a comment and are excluded from top-level statement codegen -- the extern declaration tells the compiler the function exists in the JS environment without emitting a body.	2026-05-04 10:58:07 -05:00
Will Anderson	7b60d94b8a	add --minify and --obfuscate flags to elc JS pipeline Adds two post-processing flags that produce production-ready browser JS in a single elc invocation, replacing extract-js.py in the web product pipeline: elc --target=js --bundle --minify source.el > output.min.js elc --target=js --bundle --obfuscate source.el > output.obf.js --minify shells out to terser (passes=2, no drop_console, drop_debugger). --obfuscate shells out to javascript-obfuscator with the same options as the old extract-js.py script. --obfuscate implies --minify. Tool discovery: checks ./node_modules/.bin/, ../node_modules/.bin/ (monorepo), then falls back to npx. Both flags require --target=js; passing either without it exits 1 with a clear error. Both tools receive a reserved-names list of globals referenced from HTML onclick= attributes (neuronDemoToggle, signInWith, NEURON_CFG, etc.) so they are not mangled. Implementation adds stdout_to_file(path)/stdout_restore() builtins to the C runtime so codegen's println-streamed output can be captured to a temp file before being piped through the external tools. Temp files use /tmp/elc-<pid>-<timestamp>.js naming and are cleaned up on success and failure. Rebuilds dist/platform/elc and dist/platform/elc.c. Self-hosting verified.	2026-05-04 10:54:34 -05:00
Will Anderson	21694b79d2	implement ? nil-propagation, write browser-auth.el example, update spec Iteration 5: ? nil-propagation: Field and Index handlers in js_cg_expr now detect when the object expression is a Try node (the AST node for postfix `?`). When detected, emit JS optional chaining: `(expr)?.["field"] ?? null`. The `?? null` normalizes JS undefined to El's null. A bare `expr?` not followed by field/index still passes through unchanged. browser-auth.el: a realistic 130-line example demonstrating: - @async function with Supabase via native_js_call - DOM bridge: get/set value/text/attr, add/remove class, show/hide - local_storage_get/set for session hints - window_on_load for initialization - window_set to expose functions to the browser global scope - set_timeout for transient state, is_valid_email for input validation Compiles cleanly with elc --target=js --bundle Spec updated: status promoted to Phase 4 / ~80% coverage, nil-prop status updated, new example referenced.	2026-05-04 10:42:54 -05:00
Will Anderson	422442b14e	add --bundle flag for self-contained IIFE output elc --target=js --bundle source.el > output.js produces a single file with no import statement that can drop directly into a <script> tag. How it works: - detect_bundle() reads the --bundle flag from argv - resolve_runtime_path() looks for el_runtime.js next to the source file - compile_js_with_bundle() reads the runtime, calls codegen_js_bundle() - codegen_js_inner(bundle_mode=true): - emits ;(function() { "use strict"; at the top - inlines the runtime content (stripping ES export statements which are invalid inside an IIFE via js_strip_es_exports()) - skips the const {...} = globalThis.__el destructure -- the inlined function declarations are already in scope within the IIFE - closes with })(); after main() Usage: elc --target=js --bundle app.el > app.js Place el_runtime.js in the same directory as app.el.	2026-05-04 10:40:46 -05:00
Will Anderson	437ba0a4dd	add 20 browser API builtins to JS runtime and codegen preamble Iteration 3: closes the browser API gap needed for real web pages. New builtins in el_runtime.js: Extended DOM: dom_set_attr, dom_get_attr, dom_remove_attr, dom_set_html, dom_get_html, dom_get_parent, dom_contains_class, dom_get_checked, dom_set_checked Timers: set_timeout, set_interval, clear_interval Local storage: local_storage_get, local_storage_set, local_storage_remove Window: window_location, window_redirect, window_on_load Debug: console_log All browser-only functions use _ensureBrowser guard. Timer functions work in both Node and browser. All new names added to __el export object, ES named exports, and codegen-js.el destructure preamble. Spec table updated to document new categories.	2026-05-04 10:38:20 -05:00
Will Anderson	7376349124	fix TypeDef parser to consume optional = before field block type User = { name: String } was silently broken: the parser consumed the type name then called expect(LBrace) while sitting on the = token. expect() advances unconditionally on mismatch, so it consumed = and treated { as the first field name, producing a corrupt TypeDef node. The FnDef following the broken TypeDef was then parsed incorrectly or lost entirely -- causing greet() and similar functions to vanish from JS/C output with no error. Fix: detect and skip the optional Eq token before expecting LBrace. Both targets benefit; rebuild elc to pick up the fix.	2026-05-04 10:36:53 -05:00
Will Anderson	0f1da43a97	implement Enum::Variant match patterns in parser and both codegens Parser now handles `SomeEnum::Variant` in match arm patterns, emitting a Variant pattern node with enum_name and variant fields. Previously these fell through to Binding, producing broken codegen. JS codegen: emit str_eq check against the variant name string (El enums are plain strings at runtime). C codegen: same, via EL_STR + str_eq. Rebuild elc to pick up the parser change.	2026-05-04 10:35:35 -05:00
Will Anderson	a54b2bebf9	add DOM bridge, async/await, window export, and native_js to JS target - el_runtime.js: add 19 dom_* builtins (browser-only, throw in Node), window_set/window_get for exposing El functions to the browser global scope, and native_js/native_js_call escape hatches for third-party libs - codegen-js.el: destructure all new builtins in generated preamble; add @async decorator support that emits async function + await at call sites for known-async HTTP builtins and user-declared @async functions; pre- registration pass ensures forward calls to @async functions get await - spec/codegen-js.md: mark Phase 3 (DOM bridge) implemented, document @async approach and its limitations, update builtin table and status - examples/browser-counter.el: canonical example showing dom_get_element, dom_set_text, dom_is_null, window_set, and state_set/get	2026-05-04 10:29:43 -05:00
