    In the previous article, I showed the process of creating a framework for a language plugin. Well-known plugins for Java, go, Frege were used as examples. There are also examples from the plugin for the Monkey language, which I developed while I was figuring out how everything works. Since my goal was not to cover everything, the plugin covers a limited subset of the language. The interpreter for Monkey can be found here.
