# moks

An interpreted language that I am writing [@recursecenter](https://github.com/recursecenter).

Sample program in `moks`:

```moks

let fib n = {

  (n < 2)? {

    1

  } : {

    fib (n-1) + fib (n-2)

  }

}

print (fib 10) // should be 89

print (fib 20) // should be 10946

print (map (\x { x + 1; }) [1 2 3 4]) // should be [2 3 4 5]

```

Either semicolons *OR* newlines terminate lines. Do not use both or my parser will throw a cryptic error.

## Play with it

> Note: `moks` needs iojs currently since it uses features from v8 that node doesn't have yet

```javascript

npm i -g moks

```

This should install the `moks` interpreter globally.

You can then run `moks ` or `moks -e ""`.

For e.g.,:

```moks

moks ./fib.mok

moks -e "let add x y = {  x + y; }; print (add 2 3);"

```

## Future plans

Things/features I plan to experiment with in the future:

- ~~FFI to Javascript~~

- ~~support arrays & maps~~

- ~~module system~~

- ~~lamda support~~

- ~~add `nil`~~

- repl

- error handling

- marking side effects syntactically

- runtime optimizations

- stack based runtime (currently uses the underlying js runtime stack)

- macros

- simple type system

- pausable and rewindable code editing

Also, if you use emacs, [here's](https://github.com/zeusdeux/moks-mode) a simple emacs major mode for [moks](https://github.com/zeusdeux/moks).
