Zapper is an experimental programming language, mainly for me to learn about programming theory. It is a LISP written partly in C and itself.
At it's heart Zapper aims to be a general purpose language, but also tries to stay functional by not allowing for mutable objects and provides interfaces for functional-style programming.
At the moment, there is a basic structure for the language, and there are examples of actual code in the examples/ folder. If you would like to try it out, it can currently be built on Mac and Linux (untested) systems, as well as possibly Windows (also untested) by running the make command. Binaries built for Mac are available on the releases list.
If you use the Atom editor, there is a syntax highlighter available here.
At the moment the following things still need to be implemented (in order of what I think is important):
Parser & TokeniserObjects& Classes- Core Language
- Package Support
REPL- VM
- Garbage Collection
zapper by itself will invoke the Zapper REPL.
zapper file.zap will attempt to run file.zap
