This simplifies the API by passing through the filesystem so that
function signatures don't need to be as complicated, and furthermore use
that consistently throughout.
This adds a new run flag for the lang frontend to exit immediately
following type unification. This makes it easier to use this as a step
in CI, and also to type the execution for performance comparison
reasons.
This is a new API that is similar in spirit and plumbing to the World
API, but it intended for all local machine operations and will likely
only ever have one implementation.
There were a bunch of packages that weren't well documented. With the
recent split up of the lang package, I figured it would be more helpful
for new contributors who want to learn the structure of the project.
This is a giant refactor to split the giant lang package into many
subpackages. The most difficult piece was figuring out how to extract
the extra ast structs into their own package, because they needed to
call two functions which also needed to import the ast.
The solution was to separate out those functions into their own
packages, and to pass them into the ast at the root when they're needed,
and to let the relevant ast portions call a handle.
This isn't terribly ugly because we already had a giant data struct
woven through the ast.
The bad part is rebasing any WIP work on top of this.
