TODO

• Remove Dictionaries
• Make imports expect just a string, rather than an entire expression
• Remove Union types
• Fix token locations
• Make Return just a regular statement
• StructType.{args=...} syntax
• [:ElementType, elements...] syntax
• Tuple element syntax a.0, a.1, instead of allowing arbitrary indices into the tuple. This will allow for easier typechecking for tuples
• Make Typechecking a step before anything is interpreted
• Implicit [elements...]/.{args=...}/.Member(values...) syntax
• Destructring of tuples and structs
  • (a, b) = some_tuple;
  • .{age=a, name=b} = some_struct;
• let keyword to do runtime destructuring for tuples, structs, lists
  • assert let (0, value) = some_tuple;
  • assert let .{a=0, b=age} = some_struct;
  • if let .Some(value) = result { ... }
  • case [first, second | rest] { ... }
    • Here let is not used, but it does the same thing as if let, just in a match context
• Compile the program to bytecode and interpret the bytecode instead
• Compile the bytecode to assembly
