Foray VS lisp

I made some progress on my concatenative toy language Foray. There's a basic repl, basic error handling (still not good though), and some basic builtin operators, and some basic docs in the repo.

I wanted to learn the zig language and I also decided to try making an interpreter for a stack-oriented concatenative language I'm calling Foray, mostly inspired by Min.

I've been curious about https://github.com/ezekiiel/lust but I don't know its status as a project

Since last month I've been working on garbage collection and string handling in my Lisp compiler. I've found writing the garbage collector to be hard but strings are fun :)

I just added variable-arity functions to my lisp which compiles to Cranelift. I was blocked for a while trying to work out how to convince Cranelift to put arguments on the stack but eventually gave up and I now heap allocate a location for function arguments. It's not great for performance but it feels great to have finally finished it!

I’ve been carrying on working on compiling my lisp this month. It’s been a fun couple weeks because I’ve finally gotten to the fun stuff like higher order functions, closures, and adding the ability to call into libc.
