Gordon

This is an interpreter for language, called Gordon, based on Ball Thorsten's great Writing An Interpreter In Go book. As I have personal interest in compiler / language design theory, and since this is not my only attempt at writing a full interpreter, I intend on extending the language beyond the one described in the book.

Monkey extensions

Features and characteristics going beyond the ones described in the book.

  • Real numbers with automatic casting
  • Caret operator
  • Loop (times (n) { do(something })
  • Lazy evaluation
  • "typeof" operator
  • Exception throwing and handling
  • Algebraic effects (maybe?)
  • Etc.
