Nickel

Nickel is a tiny LISP-like language. I have used it to help me teach programming language concepts such as various aspects of functional programming as well as methods used to implement a programming language. The Nickel interpreter serves as a simple example of a recursive-descent parser, tree-walking interpreter, and dynamic type checker.

Requirements

• A POSIX environment.
• GCC supporting the C99 standard. (clang will surely work, but the build script uses gcc.)

Building

./build.sh

Running

./nickel examples/hello.nickel
