Crafting Interpreters

Using rust to implement the first part of Crafting interpreters for the FHNW PL-Circle.

All dependencies for running the respective implementations are specified in the flake.nix file within the project folder (look for the key buildInputs, though rustup might just work with the provided toolchain file). My recommendation is to use the provided nix flake directly, as it sets up everything automatically.

Use cargo run -- <ARGS> to run the interpreter directly from the source code. Specify needed arguments in place of <ARGS>.

Usage: rox <COMMAND>

Commands:
  run      Run a Lox source file
  repl     Run a Lox REPL
  help     Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -h, --help     Print help
  -V, --version  Print version

For example running the Game of Life implemented in brainfuck (read the source file to figure out how to use it):

RUST_LOG=info cargo run --release -- run -s ./lox/bf.lox -- bf/game_of_life.bf

Please note that some parts of the implementation have not been given enough thought.
