What is A-Lisp?

A-Lisp is a toy lisp implemented in CoffeeScript which runs in NodeJS or in a browser. It most closely resembles common lisp, though you're bound to find plenty of places where thats not true. Its a product of my desire to learn CoffeeScript, NodeJS, and Common Lisp all at the same time.

Prerequisites

• nodejs
• coffeescript
• rlwrap (optional)
• jison, if you want to make changes to the lexer/parser

Starting the A-Lisp REPL

$ rlwrap coffee a-list-repl.coffee

Running Tests

$ coffee tests.coffee
