dolores

"... light of my life."

The Lox Programming Language implemented in Rust.

Ported from the original Java-based jlox tree-walking interpreter*, but with no visitor patterns, no null values, no subclasses and implicit conversions, just pure enums.

Gc<T> is a necessary evil...

* : For the bytecode VM interpreter, see rami3l/golox.
