Lisp-JS

This library is an extendable interpreter / compiler for Lisp intended for use in any JS environment as a secure sandboxed execution runtime.

Example code:

``javascript
const { run } = require('./index')

const code =
(process
(def
[sqrtIter x guess]
(if
[= (Math .abs (- x (* guess guess))) 0]
guess
(sqrtIter x (/ (+ guess (/ x guess)) 2))
)
)
(def
[sqrt x]
(sqrtIter x 1)
)
(sqrt 9)
)

let result = run({})(code)

console.log(result)
`

Roadmap

- Port pausable interpreter to TypeScript
- Implement a pausable interpreter
- Improve README and docs
- Support for comments (;`) as a special form
- Implement code generation
- Implement a code generator for WebAssembly
- Allow concurrent execution
- Allow multi-threaded execution

Goals

- Build a language for Fractal over JS
- Be simple and performant

Docs

- Language is described in LANGUAGE.md

TODOs

- Tests lambdas to capture values
