Swift Interpreter in Go

A Go-based interpreter for the Swift programming language, developed as part of a Master's thesis project.

Project Overview

This project presents a Go-based interpreter for the Swift programming language, developed as part of a Master’s thesis. The interpreter is designed to parse and execute Swift code, providing insights into language interpretation and compiler construction.

Features

  • Swift Language Parsing: Implements a parser capable of understanding Swift syntax and semantics.
  • Code Execution: Executes Swift code by interpreting the parsed abstract syntax tree (AST).
  • Educational Resource: Serves as a learning tool for those interested in language interpreters and the Swift language.

Usage

To explore and utilize the Swift interpreter:

  1. Clone the Repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/DarioDiPalma-DDP/Swift-Interpreter-in-GO.git
  2. Set Up the Environment: Ensure Go 1.16 or later is installed. Navigate to the project directory and build the interpreter: 
    cd Swift-Interpreter-in-GO
go build -o swift_interpreter main.go
  3. Run the Interpreter: Execute the built interpreter: 
    ./swift_interpreter

    You can then input Swift code to be interpreted.

Dependencies

  • Go: Version 1.16 or later
