BAD Lisp
(GitHub)
BAD ("By Austin Dumm") Lisp was my first attempt at a full language interpreter. It has a focus on exploring Rust as an implementation language and exploring interpreter and Lisp features such as:
Lexing
Parsing
Tree-Walking Evaluation
Code Generation
Tail Recursion
Delimited Continuations
The resulting interpreter is very slow, but was used to create a SHA-1 hashing program and a meta-circular evaluator. For more of my thoughts on programming languages, interpreters, and developing in general, check out my developer blog posts.
