This is a very basic toy project to figure out an interpreter. I've been going through SICP, and we do a lot of this stuff in Chapter 4, but nothing that was really end-to-end.
This currently will let me type in scheme code (as a string right now, but it could trivially be read from a .scm file), then run it in a clojure interpreter. (Scheme for the JVM, baby!)
I doubt I'll get to this, but anyways:
- Support a larger subset of scheme - currently only function and variable bindings are supported, everything else just uses clojure directly.
- Split up expressions by parens - currently I'm just doing one expression per line.
- Provide explicit mappings or raise an exception - right now if an expression isn't recognized, it's passed through with the assumption that it's valid clojure, which is useful for primitives like (+ 2 1) so I don't need to map them. I'd like to force this to be explicit, even if I'm just using the clojure implementation anyways.
