Mono Repo for Interpreters

This is a collection of my attempts at building my own Interpreters.

Most of the interpreters here will be based the book Crafting Interpreters

plox

plox is the first implementation of the Lox Language from "Crafting Interpreters". It is the Java implementation written in PHP. It is the first attempt at a basic Tree-Walking Interpreter. It works by building an AST from the source code and then walking the tree and executing the instructions from the nodes directly.

zlox

zlox is the second implementation, inspired by the C implementation from "Crafting Interpreters". It is written in Zig. It is a Byte-Code Virtual Machine. It works by translating the Source Code into Byte-Code specific to this Stack-Based VM. I sticked mostly to the book, but skipped implementing the OOP Part. Instead i tried myself at implementing an array-like structure myself.

zox

zox is the third implementation of the Lox Language. It will be a combination of building an AST from the source code and translating that into Byte-Code. The Byte-Code will be saved into a .zox file, which can be executed with the same executable. It will be similar to how Java works by compiling to Byte-Code and executing it at a later time. It will have an option to execute it directly.
