The super tiny compiler in TypeScript!

A TypeScript implementation of a minimal compiler that transforms LISP-style function calls into C syntax.

What it does

(add 2 (subtract 4 2))

Into this:

add(2, subtract(4, 2));

Features

• Tokenizer: Lexical analysis of input
• Parser: Builds Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)
• Transformer: Converts LISP AST to C AST
• Code Generator: Outputs C code
• Full TypeScript: Type-safe implementation with proper interfaces

Usage

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

# Run the example
