The Super Tiny Interpreter

Build a super tiny interpreter for programming languages and learn about closures. A hands-on approach to understanding the inner workings of a programming language interpreter.

Introduction

A book on building a super tiny interpreter for programming languages.

Highlights

• Let's explain what a closure is by writing a JavaScript interpreter in JavaScript.
• The goal is to interpret a tiny subset of JavaScript features in super-easy-to-read™ code.
• Supported syntax includes numbers, booleans, null, undefined, variables, binary operators, unary operators, conditional expressions, arrow function expressions, call expressions, and variable declaration statements.

Recommendation

This project is a great resource for anyone interested in understanding the inner workings of a programming language interpreter. It provides a hands-on approach to learning about closures and interpreters in a simple and accessible way.
