Machine Readable Syntax Specification

[jsproz]

Issue to be solved

Create a machine readable specification for the Cadence syntax that can be used to generate a compiler frontend.

Suggested Solution

• 1. A implementation can be generated from the specification and it parses the majority of contracts and transactions on MainNet.
• 2. The specification will have a section describing the notation used in the specification.

@jsproz let's keep this open until the work to compare the existing parser with the generated parser is completed. There is also still feedback/question(s) from Supun here: #3707 (comment)
