Monkey in Zig

Tiny interpreter + REPL for the Monkey language, written in Zig 0.14.0. Source lives in src/, examples in examples/, tests alongside the code.

Build / run

# build and install static lib + executable to zig-out/
zig build

# run the REPL
zig build run

# run a monkey program
zig build run examples/simple.mon

# unit tests
zig build test

Requirements

• Zig ≥ 0.14.0 (see .tool-versions)
• No other dependencies – the build script (build.zig) takes care of everything.
