This is an interpreter for Jam, a pedagogical functional programming language created for COMP 411 at Rice University. For the most part, this project serves as a proof-of-concept of the validity of using the Rust programming language as a tool for making interpreters effectively.
Right now, the executable for JAM RS is just a Hello, World. Additionally, none of the API has been publicly expoed yet. However, you can test programs by writing unit tests
It's unclear that I'll get any of this done, but these are some possible areas for improvement.
- Find a way to handle mutation without creating reference cycles.
- Make compiled executable interpret files and/or stdin.
- Implement new types of
cons(): by name, value, and need. - Support typing.
- Wax your moustache!
