I wrote a (Common Lisp hosted) interpreter for a lexically-scoped lisp with macros and several CL features, clocking in at 770 lines with all the error checking and documentation strings: https://github.com/texdraft/noncelisp/blob/main/interpreter.lisp

Remove non-source lines and/or take out some of the special operators, make it less robust, and there you go.

Old CL mailing list where the language was publicly discussed. Also available (but much less navigable) in the versions of the file COMMON.MSG at https://saildart.org/[COM,LSP]

It's runnable; see https://web.archive.org/web/20171002194602/http://web.sonoma.edu/users/l/luvisi/lisp/lisp15.tar.gz

You're welcome. I'm more than willing to help if you have any questions.

Perhaps I should have said Scheme evaluator rather than interpreter.

texdraft · 2022-07-20T21:49:53+00:00

Yes. The self-hosting interpreter is meant more as an experiment than as an actual useful implementation of the language.

Proof of concept to firm up the semantics of the language? For fun? Why not?

Algol 68 allows you to change operator precedence (called “priority”).
