嗯,来写写经过:
在知乎上看见用Belleve牛用javascript写了一个精简的lisp解释器
=>
我也想写一个,用lua写,能多简单呢?
=>
写了一个阉割的scheme解释器,包含lambda/if两个special form,以及+-=print几个过程,60行代码
=>
能再精简吗?比如把if给去掉?
=>
搜索,嗯,lambda calculus能帮我
=>
阅读wiki上lambda calculus的"Encoding datatypes"部分
=>
改写scheme脚本,用Y-combinator帮助实现递归,用church numeral表示数字,以及实现church numeral之上的基本逻辑、算数、关系运算,最后用这些基本运算编写for-each和fib过程
=>
从解释器里移除关键字if,移除过程+-=,改写print过程使之能够打印church numeral
=>
进一步把lambda实现为单参数过程,多参数lambda的声明和调用变成了语法糖,于是所有过程都是fully curried的了,和haskell一样
=>
虽然scheme脚本为了打印fibonacci数列需要做更多的事情,但解释器仅仅为这门阉割scheme提供了一个lambda关键字;就结果而言,它演示了如何在只支持“匿名过程”这个基本元素的语言中实现强大的计算能力;当然,完成这一切靠的是lambda calculus理论。过程和结果都非常有趣~
scheme代码,只支持lambda这个special form和基本过程print:
1 ((lambda (zero one add mul pow sub1 true false and or) 2 ((lambda (sub not zero? two Y) 3 ((lambda (less-equal? equal? three four) 4 ;------------------------------ 5 ((lambda (for-each fib) 6 (for-each (lambda (i) (print (fib zero one zero i))) zero (mul four four)) 7 ) 8 (Y 9 (lambda (self) 10 (lambda (f i n) 11 (f i) 12 (((equal? i n) 13 (lambda () i) 14 (lambda () (self f (add i one) n)))) 15 ) 16 )) 17 (Y 18 (lambda (self) 19 (lambda (a b i n) 20 (((equal? i n) 21 (lambda () a) 22 (lambda () (self b (add a b) (add i one) n)))) 23 ) 24 )) 25 ) 26 ;------------------------------ 27 ) 28 (lambda (m n) (zero?

lua解释器代码:
1 function S_parse(s) 2 s = string.gsub(s, ';[^ ]+ ', '') 3 s = string.gsub(s, '%s+', ',') 4 s = string.gsub(s, '[%(%)]', {['(']='{',[')']='}'}) 5 s = string.gsub(s, '[^{},%d][^{},]*', '"%1"') 6 return assert(loadstring(string.format("return {%s}", s)))()[1] 7 end 8 function S_lookupVar(vm, env, name) 9 while env do 10 if env[name] then return env[name] end 11 env = env[vm] 12 end 13 end 14 function S_createLambda(vm, env, argIdx, expArgs, expBody) 15 return function(arg) 16 local newEnv = {[vm]=env, [expArgs[argIdx]]=arg} 17 if argIdx == #expArgs then 18 for i = 3, #expBody - 1 do S_interpret(vm, newEnv, expBody[i]) end 19 return S_interpret(vm, newEnv, expBody[#expBody]) 20 else 21 return S_createLambda(vm, newEnv, argIdx + 1, expArgs, expBody) 22 end 23 end 24 end 25 function S_interpret(vm, env, exp) 26 if type(exp) == 'string' then 27 return S_lookupVar(vm, env, exp) 28 elseif exp[1] == 'lambda' then 29 return S_createLambda(vm, env, 1, #exp[2] > 0 and exp[2] or {'_'}, exp) 30 else 31 local p = S_interpret(vm, env, exp[1]) 32 for i = 2, math.max(#exp, 2) do 33 p = p(exp[i] and S_interpret(vm, env, exp[i]) or nil) 34 end 35 return p 36 end 37 end 38 function S_createVM() 39 return { 40 G = { 41 ['print'] = function(n) print(n(function(i) return i + 1 end)(0)) end, 42 }, 43 } 44 end 45 function S_eval(vm, s) 46 return S_interpret(vm, vm.G, S_parse(s)) 47 end 48 49 S_eval(S_createVM(), io.read('*a'))
驱动:
1 #! /bin/bash 2 cat script.rkt | lua main.lua
结果:
