After reading Crafting Interpreters Minimalisp is my small take on writing a programming language from scratch. It mimicks the approach of the jlox implementation and uses a tree-walking approach to interpret source code.
To compile Minimalisp just execute:
make
Golang must be installed, of course. This will create an mlisp executable in the cmd/mlisp folder.
Minimalisp can be used either as a REPL or for running simple scripts. Here is an example of Minimalisp code:
(defvar names '(1 2 3 4))
(defun quarter-of (n)
(let (half (/ n 2))
(/ half 2)))
(let (quarters (map quarter-of names))
(if (= 0.25 (first quarters))
(println "yes!")
(println "no!")))
