ENET / TOOLING
What Compile tells you before a program runs.
ENET IDE now separates source checking from execution.
SKIENET Editorial · October 30, 2026 · Project notes & perspectives
The question
Compile parses source and checks its allowed expression forms without evaluating the program. That means a division-by-zero expression can compile successfully yet fail when Run evaluates it. The distinction helps a beginner separate grammar from behavior.
How it relates to SKIENET
The compiler checks dormant branches too: an unsupported object-property expression remains invalid even inside if false. Its output is an ENET syntax tree, not an executable for Windows, Linux or a released SKIENET OS.
An experiment to try
Try compiling say 6 * 7, inspect the statement and expression, then run it to see 42. Change the expression to say 1 / 0 and compare compilation with the runtime error. Record what each stage actually guarantees.
Limits and next steps
The next tooling questions are diagnostic quality, recoverable errors and versioned intermediate formats. Native code generation remains future work. A useful compiler roadmap names a target and tests its behavior instead of treating a successful syntax check as a finished application.
