Mocha-Script
Somehow I ended up graduating my undergraduate program without ever taking a compilers course. Seems like a sin.
In any case, I had the burning desire to understand compilers and interpreters more so circa 2013 (where "js but
not
js languages" were reaching a fever pitch e.g., CoffeeScript), I created
mocha-script as a learning experience.
Mocha-Script is a dialect of Lisp that compiles to executable JavaScript
code. It was pretty heavily inspired by
Clojure and features some of their syntax conveniences as well as first class macro support.
