Woxi

A Rust-based interpreter for a subset of the Wolfram Language.

Features

The initial focus is to implement a subset of the Wolfram Language so that it can be used for CLI scripting. For example:

#!/usr/bin/env woxi

(* Print 5 random integers between 1 and 6 *)
Print[RandomInteger[{1, 6}, 5]]

Check out the CLI tests directory to see all currently supported commands and their expected output. All tests must pass with Woxi and WolframScript.

Check out the functions.csv file for a list of all Wolfram Language functions and their implementation status.

Woxi runs faster than WolframScript as there is no overhead of starting a kernel and verifying its license.

Installation

To use this Wolfram Language interpreter, you need to have Rust installed on your system. If you don't have Rust installed yet, you can get it from rust-lang.org.

Clone the repository and build the project:

git clone https://github.com/ad-si/Woxi
cd Woxi
cargo build --release

Usage

You can use the interpreter directly from the command line:

cargo run -- "1 + 2"

This will output: 3
