Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

YALI.js

Yet Another Lox Interpreter. Javascript Implementation

Lox is a Dynamically Typed Programming Language created by Bob Nystrom for his excellent book Crafting Interpreters.

This is yet another Javascript Implementation.

Try it out in the Playground!

Installation

$ npm install yali.js

CLI Usage

File

$ yali loxfile.lox

REPL

$ yali
> print "No semicolons needed!"

loxfmt

$ loxfmt --write --indent="  " loxfile.lox

lox2python

$ lox2python loxfile.lox --out="a.py"

OR

$ lox2python loxfile.lox | python

Embedding in your JS App

The main interface of YALI.js is a run method that will tokenize, parse, and interpret your lox source code, all in one function.

run(source_code, environment = new Environment(), printfn = console.log, debug = false)

You can pass in an environment object, which lets you define built-in variables and functions like so:

const { run, Environment } = require('yali')
const env = new Environment()
env.setBuiltin('owner', 'dberezin')
env.setBuiltin('meaning_of_life', 42)
env.setBuiltin('alert', (interpreter, arg) => alert(arg[0]))

You can also pass in a printfn that will be called for every print statement. Here's an example for capitalizing each word in the stdout:

run(
  'print "hello world";',
  new Environment(),
  out => console.log(out.split(' ').map(_.capitalize).join(' '))
)
> Hello World

Parsing

YALI.js also provides a parse function to tokenize and parse lox source code, returning an array of AST nodes that can be manipulated as desired. See any of the transpiler examples for reference.
