Clox

A C++ version of the interpreter shown in the book "Crafting Interpreters."

Differences

• Most obvious one: C++ 😉
• Opcodes are stored with a std::variant<>, rather than with raw bytes
  • It's quite nice as we can dispatch the evaluation of the operands using strong typing
  • But, as it's a discriminated union, its size is the size of the largest operand, in this case 4 bytes, which is quite large 😬
• Objects are stored in list specific to each type of object, rather than a single list for all types of objects.
