Selfhosting Dev 3ba96d9a03 🚀 feat: Multiple improvements for Nyash parser and LLVM backend
Parser improvements:
- Added expression statement fallback in parse_statement() for flexible syntax
- Fixed ternary operator to use PeekExpr instead of If AST (better lowering)
- Added peek_token() check to avoid ?/?: operator conflicts

LLVM Python improvements:
- Added optional ESC_JSON_FIX environment flag for string concatenation
- Improved PHI generation with better default handling
- Enhanced substring tracking for esc_json pattern

Documentation updates:
- Updated language guide with peek expression examples
- Added box theory diagrams to Phase 15 planning
- Clarified peek vs when syntax differences

These changes enable cleaner parser implementation for self-hosting,
especially for handling digit conversion with peek expressions instead
of 19-line if-else chains.

Nyash Language Reference Index

This is the entry point for Nyash language documentation.

  • Full Language Reference (2025): reference/language/LANGUAGE_REFERENCE_2025.md
  • Syntax Cheat Sheet: quick-reference/syntax-cheatsheet.md
  • Phase 12.7 Grammar Specs (peek, ternary, sugar):
    • Overview: development/roadmap/phases/phase-12.7/grammar-specs/README.md
    • Token/Grammar: development/roadmap/phases/phase-12.7/ancp-specs/ANCP-Token-Specification-v1.md
  • Sugar Transformations (?., ??, |> and friends): parser/sugar.rs (source) and tools/nyfmt/NYFMT_POC_ROADMAP.md
  • Peek Expression Design/Usage: covered in the Language Reference and Phase 12.7 specs above

Related implementation notes

  • Tokenizer: src/tokenizer.rs
  • Parser (expressions/statements): src/parser/expressions.rs, src/parser/statements.rs
  • MIR Lowering (expressions): src/mir/builder/exprs.rs and friends

Navigation tips

  • The “reference/language/LANGUAGE_REFERENCE_2025.md” is the canonical longform reference; use the Cheat Sheet for quick syntax lookup.
  • Phase 12.7 files capture the finalized sugar and new constructs (peek, ternary, nullsafe).
