Welcome

This is the home of Tizz, my pet programming language.

Motivation

There are many great programming languages out there, and Tizz isn't necessarily meant to replace any of them. Instead, I started this project with some more abstract goals:

• Deepen my own understanding of how existing languages work so that I can be a more effective developer and better utilize the work others have put into them.
• Understand how parsers and interpreters are crafted, so that I can work on or with existing implementations I'm interested in, such as GDScript.
• Explore the benefits and drawbacks of language features I sometimes wish existed to see what a practical implementation might actually look like.

Development

First, set up the environment:

bun install

Then use bun run with one of the following options:

Verb	Description
build	Build the lexer, parser and interpreter
test	Run the unit tests in interactive mode
cli	Run the CLI tool which defaults to REPL mode
