ola - An OCaml Lua language interpreter

This project is an interpreter of the Lua 5.4 programming language written in OCaml with the Dune build system.

• Build standard command: dune build @all
• Execute Cram test: dune test
• Run examples: dune exec ola ./examples/file_name.lua

Why ?

This experimental project has only two objectives (for now ;) :

1. Learn how to deal with a dynamique language, such as typing at runtime.
2. Have fun!

Lua seems to be a good dynamic language for this context.
Designed by a university research team (PUC Rio Brazil), its syntax is minimalist and its semantics well defined.

More fun in a group than alone!
