Poe is a lightweight scripting language. The language is written entirely in ANSI C, meaning that the language is ultra-portable (i.e. that it can exist on any platform for which there is a standard-conforming C compiler).

Poe is a toy language that is not, and will never be, suitable for production use. However, writing the language was a fantastic academic exercise and the source code is available freely as a reference to anyone who may be interested.

The entirety of the source code was written by me, Ricky Stewart, with the exception of the parser which is generated from Flex/Bison.
