# lithp
an incomplete, fairly useless lisp dialect
for now its like most other dialects except slow, few features and quoted
expressions are written like `{}` instead of `'()`.
Quoted lists are referred to as q-expresisons and normal lists are
s-expressions ofc.
See `stdlib.th` and the files in `examples/` for syntax.
## Getting started
You need editline, on Debian based distros that is:
$ sudo apt-get install libedit-dev
Also for _some_ syntax highlighting in lithp files, I have the following line
in my vim config:
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.th set syntax=clojure
To run lithp:
$ make
$ ./lithp
## Todo
* wrap c syscalls
* a cool program in lithp
* namespaces
* docstrings for non-builtins too
* write stdlib -- networking would be cool
* automatically import some core of stdlib
* arbitrary sized integers
* float data type
* macros
* tests?
* tail call optimization
* garbage collection
* implement lenv with a mapping/dictionary
* some kind of ranges/list comprehensions ([] still unused)
