Interpreter etc questions

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Since I'm not in the least bit capable of logic or anything resembling it, I'll
have to ask You, the Euphorian community about this:

How would I go about programming an interpreter for a scripting
language/programming language? The only such thing I've done was, *shudder*,
XProL. Although it was fun to hack together, it wasn't really the epitome of
interpreters, or anything for that matter.
Since I seriously exhibit the same kind of lunacy as Donald R. Woods and James
M. Lyon and the people at Cat's Eye Technologies (Funges, Orthogonal, etc), I've
always wanted to write a programming language that is rather original and, if
nothing else, halfway Turing-complete. The problem is I'm not much of a
programmer and I have no sense of logic whatsoever :) (Kind of hinders my
chances, huh?)

And please don't tell me to look at X's example of an interpreter, I'd just get
compelled to slightly modify the code and steal it outright. Just give me some
guidelines, etc please.

I'm begging you!

If I fail miserably I'll flush Euphoria down the toilet and go back to Perl
again. At least the slightly messy regexps simplify my life, IF I'd remember to
comment my code ;)

funnies, much like XProL and DEATHBUNNY (which was actually halfway finished by
me just a while ago, in Perl :).
