Question

Does anyone know of something like a basic test suite for developing a language My idea is that in addition to building up test cases that implement specific functionality what if I had a corpus of programs and a source to source compiler I could retarget to my new language I can think of a lot of things that would make this hard mutability vs immutability semantics of basic data types etc

I think i have something that you could look at I was tangentially involved with an implementation of the reactive streams spec that was incorporated into java 1 9 <http www reactive streams org >

George · Answer

look at the section A Note for Implementors

George · Answer

Its a very simple collection of 3 interfaces that you have to implement but they have complex runtime behavior

George · Answer

you look at the 250 closed giihub issues to get a sense of the amount of work went into trying to make the rules concise accurate and complete <https github com reactive streams reactive streams jvm>

George · Answer

for the testing part of your question they then developed a test suite call TCK that is a requirement to get this spec incorporated into java
