jexpr

jexpr copied to clipboard

An attempt at using JSON to notate the abstract syntax tree of a language, thus yielding a language capable of natural macros just like the lisp family.

The current compiler implementation is written in "stream of thought" style. Works, but it isn't production code and intended as proof of concept.

See the jexpr docco docs for more info.

The node.js script named jx can compile jexpr files into Javascript or run them directly. Run the script with no arguments for info on how to use it.

The jexpr.js file can be script-included in a web page and it will scan and execute all the script tags with type="application/x-jexpr" attribute.
