Adding For Loops to an Interpreter

Read Original

The article is a technical deep-dive into extending a custom programming language interpreter. The author, working on a language called 'nodots,' explains its tree-walk interpreter architecture in Python using the Lark parser. It focuses on implementing a C-style for loop syntax, covering scoping rules, evaluation steps, and the interpreter's internal call structure during execution.
