##Dedication

We, the engineers at Polydojo, are thankful to the following:

  • Javascript: The Good Pargs, by Douglas Crockford.
    • This book introduced us to the wonders of functional programming.
    • It made it clear that beneath all the Java-like nonsense, JavaScript is beautiful.
    • It gave us a new perspective, that of prototypal programming.
  • Lispy - (How to Write a (Lisp) Interpreter (in Python)), by Peter Norvig.
    • This essay amazed, intrigued and inspired us.
    • It planted our my heads, the idea of writing our own interpreter.
    • It gave us the confidence that doing so will not be impossible.
  • Programming Languages (CS262), a Udacity course by Westley Weimer.
    • This course served as an formal introduction to programming languages.
    • It introduced the ideas of regular expressions, lexing, parsing and interpreting.
    • Though Jispy doesn't follow CS262's exact track, it was extremely helpful.

We deeply thank and respectfully dedicate this project to Douglas Crockford, Peter Norvig and Westley Weimer.
It wouldn't have been possible without them.
