An interpreter for the Lox language in C

Introduction

This project is an exploration for me to learn more about how interpreters, compilers, and virtual machines work. It may or may not conform to the exact specifications of the Lox language as I commonly read details from the source code of other programming language compilers such as Python, and, based on inspiration, may bend my Lox interpreter to do things in addition or in a different way from the original description of the language. It's also a personal goal to solve the Advent of Code challenges for a year (https://adventofcode.com) with my own interpreter.

Getting Started

Clone the project and update the submodules

git clone https://github.com/greezybacon/clox
