Lox is an Object Oriented language designed by Bob Nystrom in his book Crafting Interpreters to teach design principals behind language design and data structures used to design compilers.

This version of lox closely follows Bob's book and was aimed at creating an efficient bytecode interpreter to compile lox. The first half of the book demonstrated how a tree-walk interpreter works. His implementation was written in java, known as jlox, you can check out my implementation of the tree-walk interpreter, known as pylox, here.

• cmake: version <= 3.20

You can run a repl with:

$ ./build/apps/main

$ ./build/apps/main nameOfFile

I have included two test projects to see lox running.
To see an example of inheritance in Lox run:

$ ./build/apps/main ./TestProjects/Lox_Inheritance.lox

$ ./build/apps/main ./TestProjects/Lox_LinkedLists.lox
