## Bulb

Bulb is a simple **Lisp** dialect very similar to **Scheme** on which 

I work in my free time. The ultimate goal of the project is to create 

a lightweight interpreter, easy to integrate on other projects.

Here are some examples of the syntax:

## Basics

```scheme

; this is a comment

(def integer 1) 

(def floating 3.1415926535)

(def flag #f) ; #f stands for false, #t for true

(def str "potatoes") ; this a string

; functions can be defined like this 

(def (abs x) (if (> x 0) x (* x -1))) 

; or like this 

(def abs (lambda (x) (if (> x 0) x (* x -1))))

; more complex example of code

(def (print-list l)

    (if (and (list? l) (not (null? l)))

        (begin 

            (print (car l) " ")

            (print-list (cdr l)))))

(print-list (list 1 2 3 4 5)) ;=> 1 2 3 4 5

(print "\n")

```

## How to install

First of all, you need the source code.

Download the tarball or clone the repository: 

```

git clone https://github.com/bnzis/bulb

```

You need **make** and a **C compiler**. If you're a 

**Linux** or **BSD** user, you probably already have both; 

if not, consult the manual of your distribution to install 

them. If you use Windows instead, I recommend installing **MinGW**.

Compile and install: 

```

cd /path/of/bulb

make all # please check config.mk before building

sudo make install # works only on Linux and BSD.

```

## How to use it

```

bulb # open the repl

bulb /path/to/file # execute the code in the file

```
