I Now, a nice fact about parsers of lists with integers and nested lists is that they are dangerously near to become interpreters of Lisp-alike or FORTH-alike programming languages. -The gentle reader should be aware that I've a soft spot for [little languages](http://oldblog.antirez.com/page/picol.html). However, Picol was too much of a toy, while [Jim](http://jim.tcl.tk/index.html/doc/www/www/index.html) was too big as a coding example. Other than interpreters, I like writing small programs that serve as [examples](https://github.com/antirez/kilo) of how you could design bigger programs, while retaining a manageable size. Don't take me wrong: it's not like I believe my code should be taken as an example, it's just that I learned a lot from such small programs, so, from time to time, I like writing new ones, and while I'm at it I share them in the hope somebody could be interested. This time I wanted to obtain something of roughly the size of the Kilo editor, that is around ~1000 lines of code, showing the real world challenges arising when writing an actual interpreter for a programming language more complex than Picol. That's the result, and as I side effect I really started coding again: after Aocla I started writing more and more code, and now [I've a new project, too](https://github.com/antirez/protoview). +The gentle reader should be aware that I've a soft spot for [little languages](http://oldblog.antirez.com/page/picol.html).
