What Is This?

This repo will contain my study notes and code as I work through Writing an Interpreter in Go by Thorsten Ball.

Why Am I Doing This?

I'm interested in programming languages as tools that are designed, created, maintained, and improved.

My goals are to:

• Learn more about interpreters
• Improve my Go

Because I'm interested in natural languages as well, I'd like to play with various approaches to syntax.

At the start of this project, most of what I know about interpreters came from helping Anthony Shaw write CPython Internals: Your Guide to the Python 3 Interpreter while I was running the curriculum at Real Python.

How Can You Use This?

You can read through these study notes and see the code for each section:

Order	Section	Code
1	Introduction	N/A
2	Lexing	Code
3	Parsing	Code
4	Evaluation	Code
5	Extending the Interpreter	Code

What Else Do I Do?

I help developers learn because I like code, words, and people.
