mocha's Issues

Compile to JVM bytecode

Feature request: Add a way to compile Molang scripts/code to JVM bytecode, it would make execution a lot faster.

This could be implemented using the visitors API, making a compiler visitor that will return an executable script.
For example:

interface MolangCompiler extends ExpressionVisitor<MolangScript> {
    // ...
}

interface MolangScript {
    Object execute();
}

And then:

final var expression = MolangParser.parseAll("1 + 1");
final var compiled = expression.visit(MolangCompiler.compiler());
// we can cache "compiled"
final var result = compiled.execute();

We may want to make parser return a ExecutionScopeExpression instead of a List of expressions.

Also, use javassist

Rename project

(Suggestion) Rename the project, molang is the name of the language, specified by Minecraft developers, this project should have a different name.

The name should be a single word.

We are accepting ideas!

Implement the arrow operator (`->`)

This may require some changes on the interpreter and bindings, since it seems like an entity can be attached to the scripts as part of the context.
