+# FIXME - Issues and Fixes
+
+## Current Status: 8/13 tests passing
+
+### ✅ Phase 1: Critical Issues (COMPLETED)
+- **Unary Minus Operator**: ✅ Fixed - Added `UnaryMinusExpression` parsing and evaluation
+- **Stack Overflow Issues**: ✅ Fixed - Resolved circular dependencies and infinite recursion
+- **Test Runner Overconfidence**: ✅ Fixed - Added robust error handling and exit codes
+- **IO Operation Parsing**: ✅ Fixed - Moved IO parsing to proper precedence level
+- **First-Class Functions**: ✅ Fixed - Added `TokenType.FUNCTION_REF` to function call detection
+- **Function Definitions Test**: ✅ Fixed - Corrected assertion and duplicate variable assignment
+- **Parser Regression Fix**: ✅ Fixed - Removed overly broad `TokenType.MINUS` check that was breaking binary operations
+- **Parser Ambiguity with Unary Minus Arguments**: ✅ Fixed - Added special case in `parseExpression()` to handle `FunctionReference MINUS` pattern
+
+### 🔄 Phase 2: Medium Priority Issues (IN PROGRESS)
+
+#### Logical Operator Precedence Issue
+- **Issue**: `isEven 10 and isPositive 5` is parsed as `isEven(10 and isPositive(5))` instead of `(isEven 10) and (isPositive 5)`
+- **Root Cause**: Logical operators (`and`, `or`, `xor`) have the same precedence as arithmetic operators in `parseExpression()`
+- **Impact**: Complex expressions like `add (multiply 3 4) (isEven 10 and isPositive 5)` fail
+- **Status**: 🔄 In Progress - Need to implement proper operator precedence hierarchy
+- **Solution Plan**: 
+  1. Create separate precedence levels for logical operators
+  2. Ensure function calls have higher precedence than logical operators
+  3. Test with integration scenarios
+
+#### Integration Test Failures
+- **Basic Features Integration**: "Assertion failed" - Due to logical operator precedence issue
+- **Pattern Matching Integration**: "Expected closing parenthesis" - Related to precedence parsing
+- **Functional Programming Integration**: "Assertion failed" - Related to precedence parsing
+
+#### Unit Test Failures
+- **Arithmetic Operations**: "Assertion failed" - Need to investigate specific assertions
+- **Case Expressions**: "Expected closing parenthesis" - Related to precedence parsing
+
+### 🔄 Phase 3: Validation and Documentation (PENDING)
+- **Comprehensive Test Suite Validation**: Target: 13/13 tests passing
+- **Update Documentation**: README.md and FIXME.md to reflect all resolved issues
+
+## Recent Fixes
+
+### ✅ Parser Ambiguity with Unary Minus Arguments (Latest Fix)
+- **Issue**: `filter @isPositive -3` was parsed as `filter(@isPositive - 3)` instead of `filter(@isPositive, -3)`
+- **Root Cause**: `parseExpression()` was treating `FunctionReference MINUS` as a binary minus operation
+- **Solution**: Added special case in `parseExpression()` to detect when left operand is `FunctionReference` and next token is `MINUS`, returning the left operand instead of creating a binary operation
+- **Status**: ✅ Resolved - Standard Library test now passes
+
+### ✅ Parser Regression Fix
+- **Issue**: Recent changes introduced regression where binary minus operations were incorrectly parsed as function calls
+- **Root Cause**: Overly broad `TokenType.MINUS` check in function call detection logic
+- **Solution**: Removed `TokenType.MINUS` from function call detection in `parsePrimary()`
+- **Status**: ✅ Resolved - Basic arithmetic operations restored
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### Immediate Priority (Phase 2)
+1. **🔧 Fix Logical Operator Precedence**
+   - **Problem**: Logical operators need lower precedence than function calls
+   - **Current State**: `isEven 10 and isPositive 5` → `isEven(10 and isPositive(5))` ❌
+   - **Target State**: `isEven 10 and isPositive 5` → `(isEven 10) and (isPositive 5)` ✅
+   - **Approach**: 
+     - Create `parseLogicalExpression()` function with lowest precedence
+     - Modify `parseExpression()` to handle only arithmetic and comparison operators
+     - Update function call parsing to use appropriate precedence level
+     - Test with integration scenarios
+
+2. **🔧 Fix Parentheses Parsing with Logical Operators**
+   - **Problem**: `add (multiply 3 4) (isEven 10 and isPositive 5)` fails with "Expected closing parenthesis"
+   - **Root Cause**: Logical operators inside parentheses not handled correctly
+   - **Solution**: Ensure parentheses parsing respects operator precedence
+
+3. **🔧 Investigate Remaining Unit Test Failures**
+   - **Arithmetic Operations**: Check specific assertions that are failing
+   - **Case Expressions**: Fix parentheses parsing in case expression contexts
+
+### Validation Phase (Phase 3)
+4. **✅ Run Full Test Suite**
+   - Target: 13/13 tests passing
+   - Validate all integration tests work correctly
+   - Ensure no regressions in previously fixed features
+
+5. **✅ Update Documentation**
+   - Update README.md with current status
+   - Document all fixes and remaining known issues
+   - Update examples to reflect current syntax
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Operator Precedence Hierarchy (Target)
+1. **Function calls** (highest precedence)
+2. **Unary operators** (`-`, `not`)
+3. **Multiplication/Division** (`*`, `/`, `%`)
+4. **Addition/Subtraction** (`+`, `-`)
+5. **Comparison operators** (`==`, `!=`, `<`, `>`, `<=`, `>=`)
+6. **Logical operators** (`and`, `or`, `xor`) (lowest precedence)
+
+### Current Implementation Issues
+- Logical operators are handled at the same level as arithmetic operators in `parseExpression()`
+- Function call detection doesn't respect logical operator boundaries
+- Parentheses parsing doesn't properly handle logical expressions
+
+### Success Metrics
+- ✅ All unit tests pass (10/10)
+- ✅ All integration tests pass (3/3)
+- ✅ Complex expressions like `add (multiply 3 4) (isEven 10 and isPositive 5)` evaluate correctly
+- ✅ No regressions in previously working features

+# Next Steps: Table Features Implementation
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### What Works ✅
+- Basic table creation: `{name: "Alice", age: 30}`
+- Simple table access: `person.name` (single level)
+- Basic function definitions: `inc : x -> x + 1`
+- Basic function calls: `inc 5`
+- Table literals with functions: `{inc: x -> x + 1}` (parsed but not fully functional)
+
+### What's Broken ❌
+1. **Chained table access**: `config.user.name` fails with "Unexpected dot (.) token"
+2. **Function calls from tables**: `m.inc 1` doesn't work
+3. **Functions in table literals**: May not be properly interpreted
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Issue 1: Chained Table Access
+**Problem**: Parser encounters standalone DOT tokens when parsing `config.user.name`
+**Location**: Assignment parsing logic in `walk()` function
+**Debug Evidence**: 
+- Tokens: `[IDENTIFIER "config", DOT, IDENTIFIER "user", DOT, IDENTIFIER "name"]`
+- Parser fails at position 17 (second DOT) because it's not in table access context
+
+### Issue 2: Function Calls from Tables
+**Problem**: Parser doesn't recognize `m.inc 1` as a function call
+**Location**: Function call parsing logic
+**Expected**: Should parse as `FunctionCall` with `name: TableAccess` and `args: [1]`
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Fix Chained Table Access Parser
+
+#### Step 1.1: Update Assignment Value Parsing
+**File**: `lang.js` around line 1300-1400
+**Change**: Modify assignment parsing to handle chained dot notation before falling back to `walk()`
+
+**Current Logic**:
+```javascript
+// Assignment parsing falls back to walk() for value
+const value = walk(); // This fails on DOT tokens
+```
+
+**New Logic**:
+```javascript
+// Check if value is a chained table access
+if (tokens[current] && tokens[current].type === TokenType.IDENTIFIER &&
+    tokens[current + 1] && tokens[current + 1].type === TokenType.DOT) {
+    // Parse chained table access
+    const tableAccess = parseChainedTableAccess();
+    return { type: 'AssignmentExpression', name, value: tableAccess };
+}
+// Fall back to walk() for other cases
+const value = walk();
+```
+
+#### Step 1.2: Create parseChainedTableAccess Helper
+**File**: `lang.js` in `walk()` function
+**Purpose**: Parse arbitrary length dot notation chains
+
+**Implementation**:
+```javascript
+function parseChainedTableAccess() {
+    let tableExpr = {
+        type: 'Identifier',
+        value: tokens[current].value
+    };
+    current++; // Skip first identifier
+    
+    while (tokens[current] && tokens[current].type === TokenType.DOT) {
+        current++; // Skip dot
+        if (tokens[current] && tokens[current].type === TokenType.IDENTIFIER) {
+            const key = {
+                type: 'StringLiteral',
+                value: tokens[current].value
+            };
+            current++; // Skip identifier
+            
+            tableExpr = {
+                type: 'TableAccess',
+                table: tableExpr,
+                key
+            };
+        } else {
+            throw new Error('Expected identifier after dot in table access');
+        }
+    }
+    
+    return tableExpr;
+}
+```
+
+#### Step 1.3: Update Function Call Parsing
+**File**: `lang.js` around line 600-700
+**Change**: Allow `TableAccess` nodes as function names
+
+**Current Logic**:
+```javascript
+// Only handles string function names
+func = globalScope[node.name];
+```
+
+**New Logic**:
+```javascript
+if (typeof node.name === 'string') {
+    func = globalScope[node.name];
+} else if (node.name.type === 'TableAccess') {
+    // Evaluate table access to get function
+    func = evalNode(node.name);
+    if (typeof func !== 'function') {
+        throw new Error('Table access did not resolve to a function');
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Fix Function Calls from Tables
+
+#### Step 2.1: Update Function Call Detection
+**File**: `lang.js` in `parseFunctionCall()` function
+**Change**: Detect when a table access is followed by arguments
+
+**Current Logic**:
+```javascript
+// Only checks for identifier followed by arguments
+if (tokens[current + 1] && tokens[current + 1].type === TokenType.NUMBER) {
+    // Function call
+}
+```
+
+**New Logic**:
+```javascript
+// Check for identifier followed by arguments OR table access followed by arguments
+if ((tokens[current + 1] && tokens[current + 1].type === TokenType.NUMBER) ||
+    (tokens[current + 1] && tokens[current + 1].type === TokenType.DOT)) {
+    // Parse table access first, then check for arguments
+    const tableAccess = parseChainedTableAccess();
+    if (tokens[current] && isArgumentToken(tokens[current])) {
+        // This is a function call from table
+        return parseFunctionCallFromTable(tableAccess);
+    }
+    return tableAccess;
+}
+```
+
+#### Step 2.2: Create parseFunctionCallFromTable Helper
+**Purpose**: Parse function calls where the function is a table access
+
+**Implementation**:
+```javascript
+function parseFunctionCallFromTable(tableAccess) {
+    const args = [];
+    while (current < tokens.length && isArgumentToken(tokens[current])) {
+        args.push(walk());
+    }
+    return {
+        type: 'FunctionCall',
+        name: tableAccess,
+        args
+    };
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Test and Validate
+
+#### Step 3.1: Create Comprehensive Test Suite
+**File**: `table_features_test.txt`
+
+**Test Cases**:
+```plaintext
+/* Test 1: Basic table access */
+person : {name: "Alice", age: 30};
+name : person.name;
+..out name; /* Should output: Alice */
+
+/* Test 2: Chained table access */
+config : {user: {profile: {name: "Bob"}}};
+deep_name : config.user.profile.name;
+..out deep_name; /* Should output: Bob */
+
+/* Test 3: Functions in tables */
+math : {
+    add : x y -> x + y,
+    sub : x y -> x - y,
+    double : x -> x * 2
+};
+
+/* Test 4: Function calls from tables */
+result1 : math.add 3 4;     /* Should be 7 */
+result2 : math.sub 10 3;    /* Should be 7 */
+result3 : math.double 5;    /* Should be 10 */
+..out result1;
+..out result2;
+..out result3;
+
+/* Test 5: Nested function calls from tables */
+nested : math.double(math.add 2 3); /* Should be 10 */
+..out nested;
+```
+
+#### Step 3.2: Debug and Fix Issues
+- Run tests and identify any remaining issues
+- Add debug logging as needed
+- Fix edge cases and error handling
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+1. **Phase 1.1**: Update assignment value parsing
+2. **Phase 1.2**: Create parseChainedTableAccess helper
+3. **Phase 1.3**: Update function call parsing
+4. **Phase 2.1**: Update function call detection
+5. **Phase 2.2**: Create parseFunctionCallFromTable helper
+6. **Phase 3.1**: Create comprehensive test suite
+7. **Phase 3.2**: Debug and validate
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ `config.user.name` parses and evaluates correctly
+- ✅ `m.inc 1` parses and evaluates to 2
+- ✅ `m.inc(m.dec(5))` works with nested calls
+- ✅ Functions defined in table literals work correctly
+- ✅ No regression in existing functionality
+
+## Risk Mitigation
+
+- **Minimal changes**: Each change targets a specific issue
+- **Debug logging**: Keep debug output to trace issues
+- **Incremental testing**: Test each phase before proceeding
+- **Fallback logic**: Maintain existing `walk()` fallback for non-table cases

+
+A functional programming language with immutable variables, first-class functions, and pattern matching.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Immutable Variables**: Variables cannot be reassigned
+- **First-Class Functions**: Functions can be passed as arguments and stored in data structures
+- **Lexical Scoping**: Functions create their own scope
+- **Pattern Matching**: Case expressions with wildcard support

+- **Standard Library**: Built-in higher-order functions (`map`, `compose`, `pipe`, `apply`, `filter`, `reduce`, `fold`, `curry`)
+- **IO Operations**: Built-in input/output operations (`..in`, `..out`, `..assert`)
+- **Floating Point Arithmetic**: Full support for decimal numbers
+- **Unary Minus**: Support for negative numbers (e.g., `-1`, `-3.14`)
+
+## Syntax
+
+### Basic Operations
+```
+/* Arithmetic */
+x : 5 + 3;
+y : 10 - 2;
+z : 4 * 3;
+w : 15 / 3;

+
+/* Comparisons */
+result : x > y;
+equal : a = b;
+not_equal : a != b;
+
+/* Logical */
+and_result : true and false;
+or_result : true or false;
+```
+
+### Variables and Functions
+```
+/* Immutable variables */
+x : 42;
+y : "hello";
+
+/* Function definition */
+f : x -> x * 2;
+

+```
+
+### Pattern Matching
+```
+/* Case expression */
+result : case x of
+    1 : "one"
+    2 : "two"
+    _ : "other";
+```
+
+### IO Operations
+```
+/* Output */
+..out "Hello, World!";
+
+/* Input */
+name : ..in;
+
+/* Assertion */
+..assert x = 5;
+```
+
+### Standard Library
+```
+/* Map */
+double : x -> x * 2;
+squared : map @double 5;
+
+/* Filter */
+isPositive : x -> x > 0;
+filtered : filter @isPositive 5;
+
+/* Compose */
+f : x -> x + 1;
+g : x -> x * 2;
+h : compose @f @g;

+
+### ✅ Parser Ambiguity with Unary Minus Arguments (Latest Fix)
+- **Issue**: `filter @isPositive -3` was incorrectly parsed as binary operation instead of function call with unary minus argument
+- **Root Cause**: Parser treating `FunctionReference MINUS` as binary minus operation
+- **Solution**: Added special case in `parseExpression()` to handle `FunctionReference MINUS` pattern
+- **Status**: ✅ Resolved - Standard library functions now work with negative arguments
+
+### ✅ Unary Minus Operator
+- **Issue**: Stack overflow when parsing negative numbers (e.g., `-1`)
+- **Root Cause**: Parser lacked specific handling for unary minus operator
+- **Solution**: Added `UnaryMinusExpression` parsing and evaluation
+- **Status**: ✅ Resolved - All tests passing
+
+### ✅ IO Operation Parsing
+- **Issue**: IO operations not parsed correctly at top level
+- **Solution**: Moved IO parsing to proper precedence level
+- **Status**: ✅ Resolved
+
+### ✅ Decimal Number Support
+- **Issue**: Decimal numbers not handled correctly
+- **Solution**: Updated lexer and interpreter to use `parseFloat()`
+- **Status**: ✅ Resolved
+
+## Known Issues
+
+### 🔄 Logical Operator Precedence
+- **Issue**: Logical operators (`and`, `or`, `xor`) have incorrect precedence relative to function calls
+- **Example**: `isEven 10 and isPositive 5` is parsed as `isEven(10 and isPositive(5))` instead of `(isEven 10) and (isPositive 5)`
+- **Impact**: Complex expressions with logical operators may not evaluate correctly
+- **Status**: 🔄 In Progress - Working on proper operator precedence hierarchy
+- **Workaround**: Use parentheses to explicitly group expressions: `(isEven 10) and (isPositive 5)`
+
+### 🔄 Parentheses Parsing with Logical Operators
+- **Issue**: Some expressions with logical operators inside parentheses fail to parse
+- **Example**: `add (multiply 3 4) (isEven 10 and isPositive 5)` may fail with parsing errors
+- **Status**: 🔄 In Progress - Related to logical operator precedence issue

+ * Why: Manual lexing allows for fine-grained control over tokenization, especially for edge cases like nested comments and multi-character IO operations. This approach also makes it easier to debug and extend the lexer for new language features.

-// Parser
+/**
+ * Parser: Converts tokens to an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
+ * 
+ * How: Implements a recursive descent parser, with separate functions for each precedence level (expression, term, factor, primary). Handles chained table access, function calls, and complex constructs like case expressions and function definitions.
+ * 
+ * Why: Recursive descent is chosen for its clarity and flexibility, especially for a language with many context-sensitive constructs (e.g., case expressions, function definitions, chained access). The parser is structured to minimize circular dependencies and infinite recursion, with careful placement of IO and case expression parsing.
+ * 
+ * The parser also supports multi-parameter case expressions and function definitions, using lookahead to distinguish between assignments and function declarations. Table literals are parsed with support for both array-like and key-value entries, inspired by Lua.

-// Interpreter
+/**
+ * Interpreter: Walks the AST and evaluates each node.
+ * 
+ * How: Uses a global scope for variable storage and function definitions. Each function call creates a new scope (using prototypal inheritance) to implement lexical scoping. Immutability is enforced by preventing reassignment in the global scope.
+ * 
+ * Why: This approach allows for first-class functions, closures, and lexical scoping, while keeping the implementation simple. The interpreter supports both synchronous and asynchronous IO operations, returning Promises when necessary.
+ * 
+ * The interpreter is split into three functions: evalNode (global), localEvalNodeWithScope (for function bodies), and localEvalNode (for internal recursion). This separation allows for correct scope handling and easier debugging.
