# Go Go Gadget!

![alt text][go-go-logo]

The 'Gadget' interpreter language, implemented in Go, using the [Writing An Interpreter In Go][go-interpreter-book] book. This language is based off the Monkey interpreter language described in the book, and will be implemented as I progress through the book.

## Why Go?:

- Because I'm taking a course in distributed systems next term (CPSC 416) and I know zilch about Go.

- But really, it's because you Gotta Go Fast! (haha, sorry...).

## Disclaimer:

- The book isn't an introduction to Go. To supplement this, I make use of [The Go Programming language][go-reference-book] and various online resources. I might push some relevant notes to my personal site under [notes][ps-notes].

## Plans to support some cool features (TBA):

- All of the Monkey language features (as I progress through the book).

- Support for some hash based data structures and B/B+ trees.

- Support for binary, hex, float/decimal literals.

- UTF/Emoji support (currently pure ASCII).

## Notes:

- ~~I (and the book) make use of `.envrc` files to properly set enviroment variables.~~ This is no longer needed as the Makefile should call scripts to properly set things. However, you'll need [direnv][direnv], or equivalent for your distribution if you aren't running the Makefile.

- I (and the book) use Go 1.7, YMMV with lower versions.

- The interpreter uses Pratt parsing, described in the [1973 paper by Vince Vaughan][ref-pratt-parsing].

## Running the Makefile

- Please see [Makefile.md][doc-makefile]
