# Mini-Lisp in C

This is a very small and limited Lisp interpreter based on 

[Andru Luvisi's](http://www.sonoma.edu/users/l/luvisi/sl3.c). 

Its lightweightness

is very useful in learning how Lisp and Scheme internals work!

It's a single C source file which you can run like this:

```bash

gcc sl3.c && ((cat corelib.lisp; cat /dev/stdin) | ./a.out )

```

This will compile the interpreter, 

load the corelib and get you ready 

with a "repl" where you can experiment.

Once the interpreter is running, you could try

```scheme

(+ 1 1)

(cdr '(1 2))

(is-prime 103)

(define X '(3 4 5))

(print 'first element 'of 'list 'X 'is (cdr X))

```
