golfscript-rs

A simple Golfscript interpreter in Rust. Currently there are a few missing features, but these should be added soon.

A sample interpreter can be used by running cargo run, but otherwise it is largely library-driven.

Maybe this will have use for when one wishes to embed some Golfscript in Rust.

Challenges

Since Rust lacks the dynamic nature of Ruby (the original interpreter language) we require a lot more explicitness in terms of the underlying interpreter structure. Further, we don't use regexes for parsing, but instead follow a more traditional lex -> (no parse) -> execute phase.

Future Additions

• Block Statements
• Final builtin functions
• Assignment functionality
• Full test suite
• Transactional execution (interpreter)
• Coercion
