Proposal: Print statement

[vihanb]

This proposal outlines the proposed print statement.

Overview

print as an unary operator results in odd an unexpected behavior. This is often undesired and also requires unnecessary parenthesis around ternaries:

print (true ? 1 : 2)

Definition

This will define print in two places:

• tokenizer/states/print.es6
• interpreter/states/print.es6

as StatementPrint. The code is exactly the same as the operator print

Formal Grammar

EBNF

@ = "print", [(newline | expression)]
