>Would be interesting to see how the interpreter works actually...
It's quite easy to see, there are interpeters for Lisp in like 20 lines or so.
Here's a good one:

(It has the full code in a link towards the bottom)
There's also this:
https://github.com/kanaka/mal
Have you ever tried Glisp? IMO it is executed much better than yours because Lisp is a much better suited language. Anyways awesome idea!
LISP has a very simple and consistent syntax, so much so that a basic interpreter can be done in only 99 lines of C.
And here's a Lisp written in ARM Assembler by the same author :)

I made something somewhat close to that: a freestanding lisp. It targets the Linux kernel directly. No libc.

Project mention: Secd: A silly implementation of the SECD machine | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-05I've actually recently read "FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING: Application and Implementation", by Peter Henderson from 1980, which contains a description of the SECD machine and a compiler for a simple purely-functional Lisp dialect called Lispkit.
This <https://github.com/carld/lispkit> looks like a good repo if you want to know more, although I'm not related to it in any way.
I can't say how it compares the book by Kogge mentioned in this post since I haven't read that, but I can say I think it's an excellent book and worth reading if you're interested in this kind of thing.
Project mention: Astmaker – A DSL in Rust for programming language designers | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-17I also wrote about this here: https://david-delassus.medium.com/writing-a-simple-lisp-inte... (friend link, no paywall)
