Readme

Lox interpreter written entirely in Miniscript.

Since the performance of maps in miniscript is low, most objects are represented by list.

The main branch only implemented official lox standard.

To use extended features, such as list and map, check out the extended branch.

For features based on greyscript extensions, check out the greyscript-extended branch.
