XEN

interpreter for the XEN programming language

Xen (pronounced "zen"), is an interpreter for a Lisp-like programming language written in C for personal/educational purposes. As it's heavily inspired and based on the Lisp family of languages, it is very simple to use.

This project was written as an introduction to building programming languages, the Lisp family of languages, and C programming.

Getting Started

Install libedit-dev for the editline libraries on Unix systems, then build with a C99 compliant compiler, such as gcc or clang.

On Unix

cc -std=c99 -Wall xen.c mpc/mpc.c -ledit -lm -o xen

On Windows

cc -std=c99 -Wall xen.c mpc/mpc.c -o xen
