Lisp/Scheme interpreter with Python

I wrote a simple Scheme/Lisp like interpreter some time ago. It was just a dumb idea after hours of of Scheme programming at university ;)
It currently supports define, quote, cdr, car, some arithmetical operations and even lambda functions.
If you want to extend the interpreter, you have to bind a new function to the global environment.

For car it looks like that:

def car_builtin(l, env, interp):
     assert len(l) == 1
     v = l.head().visit(interp, env)
     return v.head()

env = Environment()
env.bind("car", Function(car_builtin))

There is a simple example script in the SVN repository to calculate the faculty of a given number.

(define fac
 (lambda (f)
  (if (< f 2) 1 (* (fac (- f 1)) f))
 )
)

Call fac with

(fac 11)

and you you'll get the correct result: 39916800. hehe.

The complete python script can be downloaded from Google Code (http://code.google.com/p/dev-null). It only consists of a few lines of code for scanner, parser, AST, "runtime library" and interpreter.

LaTeX & Blogger

After some time tinkering with blogger, I found a simple solution to get LaTeX working (http://www.botcyb.org/2008/10/rendering-latex-in-blogger.html).

Looks nice ;)

\int_{0}^{1}\frac{x^{4}\left(1-x\right)^{4}}{1+x^{2}}dx
=\frac{22}{7}-\pi

Edit: Latex rendering is not available anymore :(

Programming & CG Blog

This blog is about programming and computer graphics (especially raytracing and gi algorithms).
From time to time, I'll post some articles in this blog.
