Toy LISP implementation - because everyone does it!

• Free software: MIT license

This document will get deprecated fast. I'm working on features, and that most likely means I'll forget to update the docs.

• Can evaluate strings from the command line:

  python -m whispy_lispy '(print 3)'
  

• Can run an interactive REPL interpreter:

  python -m whispy_lispy -r
  

• The interpreter knows these builtin functions:

def, quote, sum, sub, quit

• The interpreter evaluates literals and function calls, and displays the result

• def defines a value in the current (global) scope:

  (WL)$ (def x 9)
  

• quote should be the lisp quote, but it's buggy atm.

• sum sums its arguments:

  (WL)$ (sum 1 2 3 4 5)
  

• sub subtracts from the first argument, all of the rest:

  (WL)$ (sub 5 1 2)
  

• quit quits the interpreter (optionally, provide an int as an exit code):

  (WL)$ (quit)
  (WL)$ (quit 127)
  

To run the all tests run:
