Miggolang

Key Features

• Variable Bindings:

  let x = 42;
  let y = x + 8;
  

• First-Class Functions:

  let multiply = fn(a, b) { a * b; };
  multiply(6, 7); // 42
  

• Closures:

  let makeIncrementer = fn(x) { fn(y) { x + y; }};
  let addTwo = makeIncrementer(2);
  addTwo(3); // 5
  

• Data Structures:
  • Arrays: [1, 2, 3]
  • Hash Maps: { "key": "value" }
• Conditional Expressions:

  if (5 > 3) { "Yes" } else { "No" }
  

Running Miggolang

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/miggoxyz/miggolang.git
   cd miggolang

2. Build the interpreter:

   go build -o miggolang

3. Launch the REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop):

   ./miggolang

4. Start writing Miggolang code:

   >> let x = 10 * 2;
   >> x
   20
   

Technical Highlights

• Lexer: Converts raw source code into tokens for processing.
• Parser: Constructs an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) from tokens.
• Evaluator: Interprets the AST and executes operations dynamically.
• Built-in Functions: Includes functions like len, first, last, and custom user-defined functions.
• Error Handling: Gracefully identifies and reports syntax or runtime errors.
