# Make a language frontend for the sysir.
# Dialect:
# TODO -
# * basic types
# * constants
# * sequence (do)
# * basic arithmetic
# * bindings
# * branch (if)
# * looping
# * returns
# * tail call returns
# * function definitions
# * arrays (declaration, loads, stores)
# * ...
# insight - using : inside symbols for types can be used to allow manipulating symbols with macros
