Show HN: Building a scripting language and bytecode interpreter for education

I would also compare it with the Lox language:

https://www.craftinginterpreters.com/the-lox-language.html

which has an AST interpreter in Java as well as a bytecode interpreter in C. And an entire educational book devoted to it, which was just finished! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22788738

Lox is also pretty similar to JavaScript, although it has classes (not prototypes), which JS didn't get until later.

Also many other implementations: https://github.com/munificent/craftinginterpreters/wiki/Lox-...

A scripting language and VM that is easy to understand and modify, targeted for educational purposes. The entire bytecode language, the stack machine and the compiler and AST are easily readable, not optimized in any way and allow for easy modification. Therefor making it perfect for programming language courses etc.

Thanks for the interesting and relevant other projects. Will have a look.

Is it possible to update the post and adjust the link?

I would compare and contrast this language with three others in the niche, Python, Quorum [0], and also Nickle [1].

[1] https://www.nickle.org/

Another programming language for education: https://easylang.online/ide/

I just went through https://interpreterbook.com/ which was really well written

It might be better to just link directly to the repo instead of the readme.
