Go Interpreter

Overview

This project is an interpreter written in Go, based on the book Writing An Interpreter in Go by Thorsten Ball. I've chosen this project to further refine understanding of Go as a language and learn more about interpreters/parsing along the way.

The interpreter is implemented for the "Monkey Programming Language", a language that has been made up specifically for the purposes of this project. More info on the language here.

Features

• Fast Execution: Leverages Go's efficiency for quick interpretation.
• Cross-Platform Support: Runs on any platform that supports Go.
• Extensible Architecture: Easily add new features or expand language capabilities.
