@node Language Specification
@chapter Specification

@section Introduction

This document specifies the semantics and behavior of the O Programming
Language for compiler designers be informed how the language is designed.

This specification is a DRAFT and will be the discussions drive over olang-dev
mailing list.

@section Language Syntax

This is the O Programming Language EBNF grammar specification[^1]

[^1]: EBNF variant https://github.com/Engelberg/instaparse/tree/v1.4.12 and live
      test can be accessed here https://mdkrajnak.github.io/ebnftest/

NOTE: This grammar spec is a DRAFT and it covers only a small portion of the
language.
