Implementing a language with java following the "Crafting Interpreters" book

running the ast generator

// Compiling & generating AST classes
cd src
javac ./com/craftinginterpreters/tool/GenerateAst.java
java com.craftinginterpreters.tool.GenerateAst ./com/craftinginterpreters/lox

Ideas after completing the book

  • recursive lang

  • pipe functions (heavyly inspired by elixir's |>)

  • monadic by default? all functions might or not return values?
  • dynamically typed
  • branchless??
  • Rust as background lang??
  • high order functions
  • c/ruby flavor?
  • polymorphic

2 >> + 1 >> - 10 expands to 1 + 2 - 10

params >> validate >> create >> render

list >> process

pipe process(list) process(list, 0) end

pipe process(list, index) { length list eq index and return 0 or process list index++ }
