node

Data in Angle is node / map based.

The fundamental data type in Angle is a node, which may have a value or children, thus acting as list or map!

Just like how in lisp everything is a list, in angle everything is a map.

Or internally: a node with internal kind, parent, children and values.

Peter{address="Home 1"}

is internally represented as

Node{
 name="Peter"
 children={
   Node{
     name="address "
     value=Node{
         name="Home 1" 
         type=string
     }  
  }
}

Nodes acting as lists and maps simultaneously may feel a bit unfamiliar for developers of other languages but it becomes natural after a while: {a:b c:d} => a(value:b next:c(value:d))

The value property can hold many different types and will soon be unified with the children property:

{a{b c} d:e} => a(children:[b c] next:d(value:e)) => {a{b c} d:e} => a(value:(b next:c) next:d(value:e))
