Currently, it is considered a 'toy' in that it is not\nthe intention of the author for this to be used as a viable JVM compared to others such as Hotspot\nor Oracle's implementations. This is being developed purely for educational purposes, and as such,\nI may or may not diverge from the JVM specification.\n\n## Why Haskell\n\nMind you that this is purely educational, and while I do admit that Haskell may NOT be the best\nlanguage for an interpreter, I chose Haskell because I love challenges. Haskell is infamous for\nbeing difficult to learn, and so I figured it would be fun to do so.\n\nThere is no particular logical reasons for as to why I chose Haskell beyond this. However, I would\nsay that Haskell would definitely be better for a JIT Compilation virtual machine instead of an\ninterpreter, and as such I plan to make those overhauls in the future (given the time).\n\n## How did this project come to be?\n\nThis project originally was for a computer science course, called the \"Organization of Programming Languages\",\nand so I figured, why not knock out two birds with one stone by not only teaching myself a new language, a new\nparadigm, and to learn more about how languages are implemented?\n\n## Progress\n\n### Class Files\n\n- [x] Parse `.class` file into data structure representation\n- [x] Implement support for minimal attributes, (I.E: `Code` attribute)\n- [ ] Implement support for all attributes\n\n### Runtime Environment\n\n- [x] Create a stack frame representation\n- [ ] Create a heap with minimal garbage collection\n- [ ] Implement bootstrap class loader for runtime\n\n### ByteCode\n\n- [x] Implement load and store operations\n- [x] Implement arithmetic operations\n- [x] Implement conditionals + `goto` jumps\n- [ ] Implement all instructions\n\n## Misc. Details\n\nThe Virtual Machine implements small stubs for certain method calls that simulate\nthe runtime, such as `System.out.println`, and as well as appending to a `StringBuilder`.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flouisjenkinscs%2Ffunctional-jvm-bytecode-interpreter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Flouisjenkinscs%2Ffunctional-jvm-bytecode-interpreter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flouisjenkinscs%2Ffunctional-jvm-bytecode-interpreter/lists"}
