Monkey Interpreter

This is an implementation of monkey language as presented in the book "Writing An Interpreter In Go" It is written in zig.

While the language works, it is quite buggy with bad management design that could be better. However, the book and this repo are intended to be a learning experience, so do not expect anything more than that.

Supported OS: Linux and Windows It may also work with MacOS but I do not own a Mac.

Compiled and tested with zig 0.16.0-dev.724+2e31077fe

Build

zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast

On Linux, you can get a nicer REPL experience by linking GNU Readline which depends on libc.

zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast -Dreadline

Run

There are two modes, REPL and script execution.

REPL:

./zig-out/bin/monkey3

Script:

./zig-out/bin/monkey3/ ./examples/fibonacci.monkey
