MATLAB concrete syntax tree, developed on MATLAB, tested and available on MATLAB and Python.

Current stage:

• Bootstrap (via transpile to Python)
• Fully compatible with standard MATLAB
• Fully tested
• Production ready

Known limitations:

• Ellipses are not supported (working in progress)

  some = fun(args, arg2, ...
             arg3, arg4, arg5)

• Command format not supported (working in progress)

  hold on

• Exclamation point are not supported (working in progress)

  !mkdir a

• Multiple inheritance is not supported (low priority)

  classdef A < B & C

• Calling a parent class function of the same name from a subclass is not supported (low priority)

  [email protected]()

• Lack of robust and user-friendly error messages (low priority)

Roadmap:

• Build auto-formatter tool
• Support ellipses
• Support command format
• Support exclamation point
• More test cases
• Improve performance
