Monkey

This is yet another implementation of the Monkey Programming Language authored by the incredible Thorsten Ball.

Purpose of this project

This project was not made with challenging the status quo in mind, but rather of a personal want to see through a project like this to the end.

Example 1

Given The script myscript.monkey:

let my_map = {
    "one": fn(x) {
        x + 1
    },

    "one1": fn() {
        puts("this is so cool")
    }
}

puts("This is my programming language")

let result_one = my_map["one"]("one")
my_map[result_one]()

> go run main.go -file myscript.monkey
This is my programming language
this is so cool

Example 2 - The Macro System

We also have macros!

let unless = macro(condition, consequence, alternative) {
	quote(if (!(unquote(condition))) {
		unquote(consequence);
	} else {
		unquote(alternative);
	});
}

unless(10 > 5, puts("not greater"), puts("greater"));

Running this will result in greater to be printed.
