Luai is an interpreter in lua that I’m making, thus the name: Luai.
On wikipedia: In computer science, an interpreter is a computer program that directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language, without requiring them previously to have been compiled into a machine language program.
So far, I’ve gotten the lexer working. The lexer takes input text, reads it, then generates tokens for the parser to read. The tokens contain their type and value.
Next devlog, I’ll go over the parser.
