Motoko Syntax in EBNF Format

Developers
1

Hello,

I’m looking for the syntax of the Motoko programming language, preferably in EBNF format. I recall reading that the code is closed source, but accessing its grammar would really help me visualize programs and systems in Motoko. I’m currently developing a programming assistant for Motoko, so accessing the syntax would be extremely beneficial. If it’s not possible to get the grammar, I’d appreciate being pointed to resources where I can find Motoko code samples of different complexity levels.

Thanks!

Motoko is open source. The repo is here: GitHub - dfinity/motoko: Simple high-level language for writing Internet Computer canisters
IDK if it’s EBNF, but we have a grammar available here: Motoko grammar | Internet Computer
