In this toy project, I intend to write a compiler for Lua.
I want to see whether static analysis of code for dynamic languages can be utilized to
generate fast binaries.
Goals:
- performance
Explicit non-goals:
-
Lua feature parity
-
fast compile times
Currently this project contains my lua "reference implementation" interpreter.
It can be invoked with cargo run <main.lua>
The project now also contains a simple compiler from Lua to LLVM IR.
file.lua can be compiled and executed by running main.sh.
