StarScript

Starting this little project to explore the world of programming languages from the point of view of their inner working.

I will start following the book Crafting Interpreters by Robert Nystrom, and then expand from there. The first iteration will be just like clox and then I am gonna try to add some more stuff as inspiration comes along.

When I feel more confident in the topic and in C, I can re-implement everything but this time giving my own spin.

The language of choice is C, which I really like in mostly unexpected ways.

Build commands

Assuming you have CMake installed:

• cmake .. -> generate the build system
• cmake --build -> build the project
• ./starscript -> run the binary
