pylithp

Python version of Lithp, because C++ is too hard.

This implements a syntax-compatible version of Lithp in Python.

The benefits of this are:

• Faster execution
  • PyPy provides a massive speed improvement over CPython and Node.Js
• Larger number support
• Greater platform compatibility
• The large library of Python modules available

Status

Version: 0.7

Version 0.7 introduces the recurse/* function.

Version 0.5 is now syntax compatible with node-lithp.

It implements the Bootstrap parser and a small subset of the builtin library. The builtin library is now the primary focus so that modules work.

Working so far

• print/*, def/2, get/1, basic arithmatic
• Basic types
• User defined functions
• Debug output
• Test of user defined function add
• AST parser
• Bootstrap parser
• if/2, if/3, else/1, comparison operators
• Factorial sample
• recurse/*

In progress

• Builtin library
  • modules support
  • import/1, export/*, export-global/*
  • ability to import python modules
