An interpreter for the Lox language in C

# Introduction

This project is an exploration for me to learn more about how interpreters,

compilers, and virtual machines work. It may or may not conform to the exact

specifications of the Lox language as I commonly read details from the source code

of other programming language compilers such as Python, and, based on inspiration,

may bend my Lox interpreter to do things in addition or in a different way from the

original description of the language. It's also a personal goal to solve the Advent

of Code challenges for a year (https://adventofcode.com) with my own interpreter.

# Getting Started

Clone the project and update the submodules

    git clone https://github.com/greezybacon/clox

    cd clox

    git submodule init && git submodule update

Then build it and run it

    cd src

    make

    ./lox
