MiniLisp is aA Lisp interpreter written in 1000 lines of C that supports:

• Integer, symbol, cons cells
• global variable
• local variable
• Primitive functions such as +, =, < orlist,
• user-defined function
• macro system
• garbage collector

compile

MiniLisp has been tested on Linux x86/x86-64 and 64-bit macOS. The code is architecture-independent, so it should compile and run on other Unix-like operating systems.

test

MiniLisp comes with a comprehensive test suite. To run a test, give the “test” argument.

Language Features
