/**
 * SL is a simple language to demonstrate and showcase features of Truffle. The implementation is as
 * simple and clean as possible in order to help understanding the ideas and concepts of Truffle.
 * The language has first class functions, but no object model.
 * <p>
 * SL is dynamically typed, i.e., there are no type names specified by the programmer. SL is
 * strongly typed, i.e., there is no automatic conversion between types. If an operation is not
 * available for the types encountered at run time, a type error is reported and execution is
 * stopped. For example, {@code 4 - "2"} results in a type error because subtraction is only defined
 * for numbers.
 * 
 * <p>
 * <b>Types:</b>
 * <ul>
 * <li>Number: arbitrary precision integer numbers. The implementation uses the Java primitive type
 * {@code long} to represent numbers that fit into the 64 bit range, and {@link BigInteger} for
 * numbers that exceed the range. Using a primitive type such as {@code long} is crucial for
 * performance.
 * <li>Boolean: implemented as the Java primitive type {@code boolean}.
 * <li>String: implemented as the Java standard type {@link String}.
 * <li>Function: implementation type {@link SLFunction}.
 * <li>Null (with only one value {@code null}): implemented as the singleton
 * {@link SLNull#SINGLETON}.
 * </ul>
 * The class {@link SLTypes} lists these types for the Truffle DSL, i.e., for type-specialized
 * operations that are specified using Truffle DSL annotations.
 * 
 * <p>
 * <b>Language concepts:</b>
 * <ul>
 * <li>Literals for {@link SLBigIntegerLiteralNode numbers} , {@link SLStringLiteralNode strings},
 * and {@link SLFunctionLiteralNode functions}.
 * <li>Basic arithmetic, logical, and comparison operations: {@link SLAddNode +}, {@link SLSubNode
 * -}, {@link SLMulNode *}, {@link SLDivNode /}, {@link SLLogicalAndNode logical and},
 * {@link SLLogicalOrNode logical or}, {@link SLEqualNode ==}, !=, {@link SLLessThanNode <},
 * {@link SLLessOrEqualNode <=}, >, >=.
 * <li>Local variables: local variables must be defined (via a {@link SLWriteLocalVariableNode
 * write}) before they can be used (by a {@link SLReadLocalVariableNode read}). Local variables are
 * not visible outside of the block where they were first defined.
 * <li>Basic control flow statements: {@link SLBlockNode blocks}, {@link SLIfNode if},
 * {@link SLWhileNode while} with {@link SLBreakNode break} and {@link SLContinueNode continue},
 * {@link SLReturnNode return}.
 * <li>Function calls: {@link SLCallNode calls} are efficiently implemented with
 * {@link SLAbstractDispatchNode polymorphic inline caches}.
 * </ul>
 * 
 * <p>
 * <b>Syntax and parsing:</b><br>
 * The syntax is described as an attributed grammar. The {@link Parser} and {@link Scanner} are
 * automatically generated by the parser generator Coco/R (available from <a
 * href="http://ssw.jku.at/coco/">http://ssw.jku.at/coco/</a>). The grammar contains semantic
 * actions that build the AST for a method. To keep these semantic actions short, they are mostly
 * calls to the {@link SLNodeFactory} that performs the actual node creation. All functions found in
 * the SL source are added to the {@link SLFunctionRegistry}, which is accessible from the
 * {@link SLContext}.
 * 
 * <p>
 * <b>Builtin functions:</b><br>
 * Library functions that are available to every SL source without prior definition are called
 * builtin functions. They are added to the {@link SLFunctionRegistry} when the {@link SLContext} is
 * created. There current builtin functions are
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link SLReadlnBuiltin readln}: Read a String from the {@link SLContext#getInput() standard
 * input}.
 * <li>{@link SLPrintlnBuiltin println}: Write a value to the {@link SLContext#getOutput() standard
 * output}.
 * <li>{@link SLNanoTimeBuiltin nanoTime}: Returns the value of a high-resolution time, in
 * nanoseconds.
 * <li>{@link SLDefineFunctionBuiltin defineFunction}: Parses the functions provided as a String
 * argument and adds them to the function registry. Functions that are already defined are replaced
 * with the new version.
 * </ul>
