Turse - Turing in Rust

Turse is a new Rust interpreter and compiler for the (forsaken) Turing language, and is intended to be a drop in replacement for TProlog, the older interpreter.

This project uses information from these repositories:

Currently, only the compiler (toc) is being worked on, but a new interpreter will eventually be focused on.

Why

  • Curiosity. Just pure curiosity
  • Learning about compilers and bytecode virtual machines
  • Learning about concurrency and parallelism
  • Learning about JIT and interpreters
  • Big projects like this are "fun" to play with

Do not expect this project to be maintained for a long time.

Features

Lint mode & the LSP server supports:

  • Arrays
  • Functions & Procedures
  • Pointers
  • Sets
  • Control flow statements
  • Put & get statements

Compilation mode also supports some of thing things linting mode does, with the exception of:

  • Arrays
  • Set types
  • Referencing items not declared in a function or procedure
  • Pointers
  • String concatenation
  • char(*) and string(*)

Attempting to compile code that does these things will result in a compiler crash.

Running the Compiler

To run the compiler executable:

git clone https://github.com/DropDemBits/turse-rs.git
cargo run --bin toc_driver
