My work done as I read Crafting Interpreters

The Lox specification can be found in the above link or directly here

This project consists of two parts

This is a compiler for Lox written in Python. It leverages the Python runtime to allow for easy development of an interpreter for Lox. It's not highly performant as expected, and performs no optimisations. Main features include static analysis of programs, object-orientation suppport, and support for the whole Lox specification (OO, recursion, functions, state, ...).

./plox.py <lox-script>

or use the REPL

./plox.py

This is a compiler for Lox written in Rust. Following in the tradition of other bytecode VMs such as the JVM, and LLVM, this leverages the three phase compiler model. Written in Rust, it uses the features of the development language including functional programming, memory safety and rich typing to allow for easy development This compiler does perform optimisations, and supports garbage collection.
