Monkey Programming Language Interpreter

This repo was made in process of reading this amazing book "Writing An Interpreter In Go"

Running the Interpreter

To run the interpreter you need to run

go run ./cmd/main.go

Features

Even tho this interpreter isn't 200k loc it has quite a lot of interesting features.

// variable declaration

let a = 5;
let b = "foo";
let c = false;

// you can also assign functions to variables
let d = fn() { return 69; }
d(); // returns 69

// if statement

if(5 > 6) {
    puts("foo");
} else {
    puts("bar");
}

// simple mafs also works

let e = 5 * 5 / 25 - 1 + 4;

// you can pass functions as parameters and do all sorts of crazy things

let do_smth = fn(other_fn, a, b) {
    other_fn(a,b);
}

do_smth(
    fn(b, c) {
        return b + c;
    },
    1,
    2
) // returns 3
