A '📦-inspired' Interpreted Language Implemented In Go

cardboard follows a simple C-like syntax structure, without being a strictly typed language.

An example (proposed) code script can be seen below:

< Function Declaration >
put add = box(a, b) {
    put y = a + b;
    unbox y;
}

< Variable Declaration >
put x = 10;
put y = 20 - 15;

< Printing To Output >
show(add(x, y));

The syntax of cardboard is liable to change as I develop it, but the design focus for cardboard will always be simplicity and ease of use.

To use the cardboard, begin by cloning this repository.

git clone https://github.com/ibrahim-5/cardboard.git

cd cardboard

Once at the base of the cloned repository, run the following command.

go run main.go

If you run into any issues, please feel free to open a new issue on this repository's page.

Developing programming languages is an interest I wish to experiment with, and therefore cardboard will always be in development!

The following is a subset of the ideas I wish to implement in the language:

• Variable Declarations
• Arithmetic Operations
• Function Declarations
• Printing Functionality
• Comments
• Arrays
• Constants
• Structs / Classes

It would be really cool if you could fork this Repo and work on new features! I'll be happy to merge them right away 😀

I'm working through Thorsten Ball's amazing book called 'Writing An Interpreter In Go'. Really recommend it 😀
