ligo - scheme like language interpreter in golang

• This is just a hobby project.
• No documentation
• Just a single example to demonstrate the working.

Building

Build the interpreter first. This builds the main package automatically.

go install github.com/aki237/ligo/cmd/ligo/

Now without the packages the interpreter is not functional at all. This builds some basic dl packages and copies them to the ligo package search directory. ($HOME/ligo/)

cd $GOPATH/github.com/aki237/ligo/packages/
./build.sh

FAQ

• Scheme?

  This is a scheme like but little different in syntax.

• So it is not scheme?

  Don't worry it has all the parenthesis goodness of scheme.

• How different?

  This is scheme :

  (define sum 
    (lambda (x y) 
      (+ x y)))

  This is ligo :

  (fn sum |x y|
      (+ x y))
