Footnotes

The interpreter that we built is very basic. This, of course, can be extended to do a lot more. Loops and conditionals can be added. Modular or object oriented design features can be implemented. Module integration, method definitions, parameters to methods are some of the features that can be extended on to the same. 

In this article, we are going to learn how to create your own programming language using SLY(Sly Lex Yacc) and Python. Before we dig deeper into this topic, it is to be noted that this is not a beginner’s tutorial and you need to have some knowledge of the prerequisites given below.

Prerequisites

• Rough knowledge about compiler design.
• Basic understanding of lexical analysis, parsing and other compiler design aspects.
• Understanding of regular expressions.
• Familiarity with Python programming language.
