Lisp in Lisp - A minimalistic Lisp interpreter crafted with Kotlin/Native, Linsp provides the foundational operations described by Paul Graham in his seminal article The Root of Lisp. This interpreter offers the seven atomic operations: quote, atom, eq, car, cdr, cons, and cond, along with support for lambda.
- Minimalistic Design: Linsp is built with simplicity in mind, focusing on the core principles of Lisp.
- Lambda Support: Enables the creation of anonymous functions with lexical scope.
- Extended Functionality: Beyond the seven atomic operations, Linsp introduces new operators such as
first,second,next,=, andif, enriching the language's capabilities.
To get started with Linsp, follow these simple steps:
- Clone the Linsp repository:
git clone https://github.com/redraiment/linsp.git
- Change to the Linsp directory:
cd linsp - Build and link the native executable using Gradle:
./gradlew linkNative
- Run the Linsp interpreter with the main script:
build/bin/native/releaseExecutable/linsp.kexe main.linsp
The development approach of Linsp is reminiscent of PyPy, focusing on a clean and efficient implementation. Further details on the implementation will be provided in future updates.
