The Source Tool chain and Standard Library

Source is a subset of JavaScript (ES5) used as teaching language for first year undergraduate student in NUS (CS1101S).

This repository houses a learner friendly toolchain for Source written in TypeScript. The end goal of this runtime system is to have:

1. Very friendly error message with link to lecture topic (see Elm).
2. Modern streaming architecture with end goal of interactivity.
3. Educational tools: e.g Substitution Stepper, List Visualizer.
