-In the top-level grammar.ebnf file, you will find a EBNF description of a grammar for the
-Tap programming language.
-
-# Main instructions
-
-Your MAIN, PRIMARY task right now: write the tests as per TESTS.md. Don't worry about whether they pass or not.
-Some of the currently written tests may be wrong. You will have to fix them as you go along. But first & primarily: write the new tests and make sure they compile,
-and not necessarily that they pass.
-Remember that for grammar reference you can refer to grammar.ebnf, which is the SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH on the grammar.
-For syntax reference, refer to the README.md which provides quite a few useful syntax example constructs.
-NO mocking please. Write real tests that run the real lexer, parser, & interpreter.
-
-For now, implement more parser tests. Once you have a good number of parser tests, get back to me for further instructions.
-There are some parser tests already written, but they are not enough. You will have to write more.
-
-Periodically refer back to this file to recall your top-level goals.

----
-
-### Additional context that was used previously
-
-The lexer should handle Unicode correctly (use .chars()) as we will have to handle Polish language syntax eventually.
-Tokens should have spans (start/end char offsets) for better error reporting.
-
-As for the parser: it will be a recursive-descent, context-aware parser. Every non-terminal becomes a method. Each method should have a helpful doxy comment,
-including a snippet of the relevant EBNF production.
-Hard context-sensitive rules (e.g., forbidding assignment to non-lvalues, checking pattern validity, enforcing keyword vs identifier distinctions) must be enforced during parsing.
-All productions must be written in a style that is readable, correct, and testable.
-Produce a well-typed AST with enums and structs. Errors should be helpful and provide context
-(what production were we trying to parse?). Each
-
-As for the interpreter: A tree-walking interpreter.
-Lexically scoped environments. Braces are closures.
-
-First-class functions + closures (lexical capture). Strong runtime error diagnostics with spans.
-
-Start by generating tests for the language. Do good Test Driver Development. Any ambiguities in grammar should be resolved
-by referencing the grammar.ebnf file. It is the single source of truth on the grammar. For a basic source of tests look into the
-top-level TESTS.md file. You WILL HAVE to update this file, checking off implemented tests as you implement more tests.
