# IdeLISP

This is a LISP I put together while reading [Build Your Own Lisp](http://www.buildyourownlisp.com/). Inspired by Lispy, Clojure and Common Lisp.

## Installing

- Clone [MPC](https://github.com/orangeduck/mpc) and drop `mpc.c` and `mpc.h` in the project root

- `make build`

_(Please note this project is currently not cross-platform, and probably never will be. Will much likely work when compiling on Mac OS/Ubuntu)_

## Running

### Using the REPL

```

./bin/idelisp

IdeLISP (type exit() to quit)

>> + 1 1

2

```

### Executing a file

```

./bin/idelisp -f example.ilisp

2

```

### Compiling and running as WebAssembly

- `make build_wasm`

- `cd wasm`

- Serve the directory in a webserver: `python -m SimpleHTTPServer`

- open "http://localhost:8000/idelisp.html"

## Example syntax

```

(load "standard.ilisp")

(+ 1 2)

(* (+ 2 3.1) (* 2 3))

{:my_key "value"}

(def :x 1)

(+ x 1)

(defn :plus-two '(x) '(+ 2 x))

(plus-two 2)

(defl :combine (fn '(x y) '(+ x y)))

(combine 2 1)

(== 1 1)

(if (== 1 1)

    '(print 1)

    '(print 2)

)

(if (and (== 1 1) (!= 1 0))

    '(print 1)

    '(print 2)

)

(not 0)

; I am a comment

(let '(a b) '(1 2)'

    '(print a))

(zero-arity-fn ())

```

## Language syntax

See the [language](https://github.com/marteinn/IdeLISP/blob/master/LANGUAGE.md) specification

## The name?

Its a pun on the french name for dogmatix in Asterix/Obelix, which is Idéfix.
