wisp-bootstrap

A bootstrapped lisp compiler

How it works

All I've done is package my Wisp interpreter, found here, and incrementally add features until there's a fully featured "compiler".

This is not meant to be a good compiler! This is just a proof of concept! Use this at your own peril!

File	Purpose
1.lisp	This file allows the user to input a wisp file through STDIN, and compile it into a packaged .cpp file.
2.lisp	This file allows the user to input a wisp file through command line arguments, and compile it into a packaged .cpp file.
3.lisp	This file does the same as 2.lisp, except it adds the os-cmd function to the list of builtin functions.
4.lisp	This file takes a file from the command line arguments, compiles it to C++, and then compiles the result with g++.

The final compiler is written to wispc.

Usage

Just download the repository and run make in the directory!

$ git clone https://github.com/adam-mcdaniel/wisp-bootstrap
$ cd wisp-bootstrap
$ make

Then, compile away.

$ ./wispc hello_world.lisp
$ ./out
Hello world!
