A Python-based interpretation of Lox

hyde-lang

Hyde is a Lox clone written in Python based on the book from Robert Nystrom's book Crafting Interpreters.

Just like the novel of the same name, where the evil Mr. Hyde is the antithesis of the benevolent Dr. Jekyll, this scripting language, Hyde, is the polar opposite, often masochistic, and downright hard-to-use alternative to Jekyll.

Hyde is a toy language written to prove that just because something can be done... Sometimes it's best not to.

Jekyll is truly a joy to use -- simply write articles in Markdown and your content is served easily and quickly. Because it's built on top of Ruby, you know it's made for developer happiness.

Hyde, on the other hand, is an evil, deviously hard-to-use alternative to Jekyll. It will punish you for using it. It is a scripting language written in the span of a few weeks, and none of its features are built for rendering large bodies of HTML. It has a spartan standard library, limited primitive types, and barely passable error handling.
