I only added that a few minutes ago, and it's a question of whether I should or not. This project is so goddamn new that I have not even decided anything. I was not expecting anyone posting this to HackerNews in the slightest.

Also this isn't JS-style ASI technically speaking, and it won't have any of the problems either. The syntax for this language is different enough that it won't be a problem. Procedures don't even return things.

I'm referring to the semicolon insertion described in the README as, "When a newline is seen after the following token kind, a semicolon is inserted".

> Procedures don't even return things

Oberon allows return values from functions (which are still declared with the PROCEDURE keyword). It looks like the same is true in Titania:

    proc_body = decl_sequence ["begin" stmt_sequence] ["return" expr] "end".

I'm curious what you're going to do with the code generator. Parsers are easy and can be completed in a day or two. Even with a reference implementation, however, it's the backend that's a slog.

		I know Oberon does return things from certain procedures but I might not. I know the grammar allows for it but again, this is subject to change. As for code generation, direct machine code to a Windows AMD64 PE executable. Backend should not be that difficult because I am not working on anything complex nor optimizing. This won't be an optimizing compiler backend course.
