ts-monkey

A TypeScript implementation of the monkey language along with an in-browser editor, interpreter, and AST explorer.

For details on the Monkey language see the unofficial docs in this repo or monkeylang.org.

Structure

Currently, all files (for both the in-browser editor and core language) live in this project. This is for ease while building out the basic feature-set for the editor and language.

This project uses Next.js. Source code for the Monkey interpreter lives in language/ and the rest of the files are organized as a standard Next.js application.

Eventually the core language (source code for the Monkey interpreter) will most likely be moved into its own package.

Developing

To install dependncies:

$ yarn install

To start the dev server:

To run tests in watch mode:
