Loxscript

Python port of the book crafting interpreters with some of my own changes and additions.

Features and quick tutorial

You could find the tutorial here

Requirements

• python >= 3.8

Installation

Install with pip

$ pip install git+https://github.com/yashrathi-git/loxscript

Now you could run loxscript to access the interpreter.

If you are doing user install, you must add the user-level bin directory to your PATH environment variable in order to use loxscript. If you are using a Unix derivative (FreeBSD, GNU / Linux, OS X), you can achieve this by using export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" command.

Usage:

$ loxscript                             # Starts a loxscript repl
$ loxscript path/to/source_code.ls      # Executes the file

Without pip

1. Clone the repo

   $ git clone https://github.com/yashrathi-git/loxscript

2. Navigate to source code directory.

   $ cd loxscript

3. Running(Make sure you are in the source code directory):

   $ python run.py                           # Starts a loxscript repl
   $ python run.py path/to/source_code.ls    # Executes the file

TODO:

• ADD TESTS!
• Support for multiline comments
• Complete classes and inheritance part
• Lists and Dicts
• Lambdas
• Provide builtins to do web-requests
• Add setup.py for direct install
• Add support for decorators
• Add more builtins with decorators like @property, @classmethod etc.
