This is simple tree-walking interpreter for the Lox language.

This repo implements the jlox interpreter from the great Crafting Interpreters book by the awesome Bob Nystrom.

Progress

  • Scanner
  • Parser

Later Ideas

I think if I can get done with the book I will add:

  • Lists
  • Hashmaps
  • Operator Overloading
