Monkey is the programming language outlined in Thorsten Ball's Writing an Interpreter in Go.
It's a small language that is meant to serve as an educational vehicle for teaching the basics of compilation and interpretation of high level code.
This is a Go implementation that closely follows the implementation in the book but has a few extensions:
- A minimal standard library and module system,
- For-each loops for both arrays and dictionaries,
- Possibly more, depending on what I come up with :)
To build the top level interpreter, run the following after checking out the project:
go build ./cmd/monkeyc/
# or: go build .\cmd\monkeyc\ on Windows machines.Run unit tests:
go test -cover ./...Run the REPL:
./monkeyc
# or: .\monkeyc.exe on Windows
