rpl.rb

Reverse-Polish-Lisp inspired language in ruby

Install

gem install rpl

Usage

  • rpl --help
  • run RPL: rpl
  • by default rpl persists its state in ~/.local/state/rpl.rb/machine which is created if needed

Development

To run REPL locally: rake run

To run the test suite: rake test

To build gem: rake gem

known bugs

TODO-list

  • Language:
    • pseudo filesystem: subdir/namespace for variables . 'a dir' crdir 'a dir' cd vars
  • SDL-based graphic environment/API
