Galapagos
=========

[](#galapagos)

Evolutionary language transformation. Fork of [igorw](https://github.com/igorw)'s initial work.

Read the related [blog post](https://igor.io/2013/07/26/evolving-syntax.html).

Backport existing PHP features to previous versions through AST compilation. Inspired by lisp macros. Using the incredible [nikic/PHP-Parser](https://github.com/nikic/PHP-Parser).

Missing features
----------------

[](#missing-features)

### 5.4

[](#54)

- Binary number format
- Closure rebinding

Edge cases:

- Calling private methods from within closure
- Ensure `$that` gets passed to nested closures

### State

[](#state)

There needs to be a strategy for managing state. A trait transformer needs to keep track of the traits it found. That is currently missing.

### Preservation

[](#preservation)

There should be a way to preserve existing code formatting, especially for code that wasn't actually modified. Instead of pretty-printing everything, only changed parts of the AST should be changed in source. Three-way-diff may help with this.

### Line numbers

[](#line-numbers)

Is there any way to do something like source maps to refer to the original line numbers, so that code remains at all debuggable?
