Frontend
The first stage of a compiler or language processor, typically including a Parser (possibly with a Tokeniser), and a Typechecker (semantic analyser). Sometimes also includes Desugaring. Is typically responsible for giving the programmer feedback on errors, and translating to the internal AST or representation used by the rest of the system.
