Writing a simple Lisp interpreter in Rust

• letlang

  12 157 7.9 Rust

  Functional language with a powerful type system.

Author here, the article is more about how Rust and its ecosystem are nice tools for language designers rather than the beauty of Lisp.

The crates listed in that article are the ones I use for my compiler: https://letlang.dev

Lisp was only chosen as a way to demonstrate the power of those crates and Rust features. A kind of way of justifying my choices for Letlang.

It's not "you should do it like this" but "you can do it like this".

  5 224 0.0 Rust

  A Rust-embeddable Lisp, with support for interop with native Rust functions

Well, the article is called "a simple Lisp", not "a fully featured Lisp". It's a demo, not a compliant implementation.
