Monkey Language Interpreter in Clojure

Introduction

Monkey is a small programming language designed for simplicity and ease of learning. This project is an interpreter for Monkey, written in the functional programming language, Clojure.

This implementation uses multimethods for parse functions and evaluator functions. This approach might not be the best one for some cases but it is used in this implementations for education on multimethods.

Features

• Basic data types: integers, booleans, strings
• Arithmetic, comparison, and logical operators
• Variables and assignment
• First-class functions and closures
• Control structures: if, else
• Error handling and reporting 🚧 🚧
• REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) for interactive coding 🚧 🚧

Example of Monkey snippet

let factorial = fn(n) {
    if (n == 0) {
	    1 
    } else { 
	    n * factorial(n - 1);
    } 
 };
  
 let result = factorial(5);
