# Particle Zoo

An exploration of different kinds of particles.

code
 keywordParsers
  description A parser where each node type is determined by the presence of a keyword
  prefixKeywordParsers
   keyword 1 2 3 foo
  postfixKeywordParsers
   1 2 keyword
  omnifixKeywordParsers
   1 keyword 2
 flatParsers
  description A parser that has only 1 scope
  example
 singleScopeParsers
  description A parser with multiple scopes
  benefit Isomorphic to a single table
  downsides
 staticParsers
  description A parser where the parser and atomTypes cannot be changed or defined at runtime
  example
   print hello world
 dynamicParsers
  description A parser where new parser and/or atomTypes can be defined at runtime
  example
   name score
   string int
   sandy 123
 identifierParsers
  description A parser where identifiers can be created
  example
   score = 10
   increment score
 anonymousParsers
  description A parser without any identifiers or naming
  example
   10
    increment
 recursiveParsers
  description A parserNode with a scope that eventually includes itself
  example
   sum
    2 3
     sum
      4 6
 dagParsers
  description A non recursive parser
  example
   person
    phone
     mobile 123-1234
 multiAnchorParsers
  description A parser where root level nodes (for instance) can be parsed/compiled/executed completely independently
 singleAnchorParsers
  description A parser where parsing/compilation and/or execution must begin from the beginning of the sequence and  process sequentially
 orderIsImportantParsers
  example
   add 10
   checkBalance()
 orderIsNotImportantParsers
  description When order is not important and rearranging nodes does not affect meaning. 
  example
   name ali
   score 100
