Abstract

This paper explores the implementation of a hypothetical programming language, it is an extension of a previous paper by the same author of a compiler implemented in C programming language using tools “flex” and “bison” for lexical analysis and parsing. In contrast to that paper, an interpreter presented here was developed exclusively using a standard library of Go programming language without relying on any other tools or existing code.
