This repo contains a WIP implementation of the lox programing language, it is inspired by the clox implentation of the Crafting interpreters book.

So far, it differs from the original implementation on the following points:

• it uses a compacting garbage collector based on the "immix" implementation, (related doc).
• it is not a simple pass compiler, here are the main compiler passes:
  • tokenize the input source (streamed)
  • parse the tokens into a basic Abstract Syntax Tree (stream)
  • resolve names on the AST
  • High Level Intermediate Representation
  • Typed High Level Intermediate Representation ...
  • profit
