A lisp-looking programming language for fun in Rust.
It is made to be pretty easy to understand and be rewritten in other programming lanuages. Nody uses function overloading,
meaning that a function can have different definitions depending on the arguments passed in.
Nody has a lisp-like syntax as already mentioned, having every function call wrapped in "(" and ")" to mark the end.
Most programming languages have two parts for grammatical analysis,
lexing and then
parsing, but because the syntax of Nody is so simple,
I decided to combine the two parts which I just called
scanning. Instead of scanning the file for so called
tokens, which the lexer does,
the
scanner instantly converts the source file to a tree-node structure. This saves some time on the pre-interpretation stage.
