This repository is the companion to the book Crafting Interpreters. It contains the full source code for two interpreters (one in C and one in Java), the Markdown source of the book, the tooling to weave prose and code into a website, and build scripts to generate the executable interpreters. The book aims to teach from the ground up how to build a full-featured scripting language (called Lox) with parsing, AST, compiler / VM, garbage collection, classes, and more. Static site generator tooling to compose book + code into HTML. Markdown source of book chapters and text prose. Full interpreter implementation in C (clox).
