The current token file is messy, to say the last. It needs to be properly ordered and cleaned up.

Take a look at lib/tokens.js and re-order the token object.

Order the entries according to the priority they should have. For example, in-built functions should always have priority over user-defined functions, so their token definition should be placed above the definition of user functions.

Implement a syntax checker that works. The current one is very situational and barely does anything at all.

Take a look at lib/syntax_checker.js for an idea of how to implement syntax checking functions.
You may introduce breaking changes into the project, but I would prefer it if you could keep them as smooth as possible.

This issue will likely require modification of the transpiler. It is located in lib/transpiler.js.

The current lexer is bad. Very bad.
Implement a better system to accurately parse GreenLight code and create syntax objects for the transpiler.

Breaking changes are allowed, but discouraged. This will likely require rewriting of a large amount of code.

Enhance the current documentation in the README.md with some short code examples to explain the functions available. The current short comments are insufficient.

Add documentation of the new standard library functions introduced in #6 into the README.
If you would like to take this issue, simply comment and I will assign it to you.
