The Lox Language · Crafting Interpreters
We’ll spend the rest of this book illuminating every dark and sundry corner of the Lox language, but it seems cruel to have you immediately start grinding out code for the interpreter without at least a glimpse of what we’re going to end up with.
3 The Lox Language What nicer thing can you do for somebody than make them breakfast? Anthony Bourdain We'll spend the rest of this book illuminating every dark and sundry corner of the Lox language, but it seems cruel to have you immediately start grinding out code for the interpreter without at least a glimpse of what we're going to end up with. At the same time, I don't want to drag you through reams of language lawyering and specification-ese before you get to touch your text editor . So this will be a gentle, friendly introduction to Lox. It will leave out a lot of details and edge cases.
