Welcome to SICP Mojo! This is my personal attempt to port all the code in the famous introductory computer science book Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs to Mojo, using its JavaScript version as a reference.
This book was on my "to read" list anyways, so I thought I would practice the programs in it. I'm much more familiar with Python than JavaScript, so I'm using a programming language similar to Python to do it.
I sincerely believe Mojo is the future of the entire Python ecosystem, so I'm trying to learn it now, even though it's at a very early stage (as of 06-04-2024, Mojo is at version 24.2).
Mojo also has some neat features that Python doesn't, like tail recursion optimization (see the "Tail Call Optimization (TCO)" section of this page).
TODO: It's not yet clear whether Mojo only supports tail recursion optimization (tail calls to the current function are replaced by jump instructions and reuse the stack frame) or full tail call optimization (tail calls to any function are replaced by jump instructions and reuse the stack frame). I've asked about it but no answer yet.
Recommended: Download Mojo through the Modular website. The guide for it is here.
You can run the programs in the Mojo REPL if you prefer the instantaneous feedback (type mojo/mojo repl in your terminal to open the Mojo REPL (read-evaluate-print loop)) or put your scripts in a .mojo/.🔥 file and run them with mojo <filename>.mojo/mojo <filename>.🔥.
Alternatively, you can directly use Mojo in the browser through the Mojo playground.
TODO: Implement mojo_slang based on js-slang instead of copy-pasting the code directly.
