Rubic - A tiny Scheme interpreter

Gem Version Build Status Coverage Status

Rubic is a very simple Scheme interpreter written in Ruby.

NOTE: This is my hobby project. You may find it is good for nothing in practical uses :wink:

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rubic'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rubic

Usage

Once you install this gem, the rubic executable can be used. Simply run it as:

$ rubic

then the REPL will start. Or pass the Scheme source file as:

$ rubic /path/to/your_code.scm

then the program will be executed.

You can also evaluate Scheme code from your Ruby application:

require 'rubic'
rubic = Rubic::Interpreter.new
rubic.evaluate('(define x 100)')
rubic.evaluate('(+ x 3)')        # => 103
rubic.evaluate('(list 1 2 3)')   # => [1, [2, [3, []]]

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
