;;; I'm trying to write an interpreter for a BBC BASIC subset
;;; initially following the design of
;;; https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/oreilly-book/html/book-ora058.html
;;; then later I can optimise following
;;; https://github.com/Henry/BuddKaminInterpreters and *maybe*
;;; https://oleksandrmanzyuk.wordpress.com/2014/06/18/from-object-algebras-to-finally-tagless-interpreters-2/
;;;
;;; It might be worth reading the example in "Beautiful Racket" for
;;; the extensions suggested on the OCaml page,
;;; or more likely switch to COMAL.
;;;
;;; A BASIC interpreter already exists at
;;; https://gitlab.com/com-informatimago/com-informatimago/-/tree/master/small-cl-pgms/basic
;;; but it is idiomatic CL,
;;; whereas I'm experimenting with a subset like ISLisp.

;; Because this is the main package,
;; 1) ql:quickload QuickLisp dependencies and
(ql:quickload "closer-mop")
;; 2) load local dependencies here.
(load "cutil.lisp")
(load "cabs-syn.lisp")
(load "clex.lisp")
(load "cparse.lisp")
;;
;; Use require & defpackage in each package from then on.
;; NB: must have no circular dependencies, and topologically sort the loads.
;;
;; TODO: is it easier to just get started with ASDF?
;;       ( https://lisp-lang.org/learn/writing-libraries )
;;       Although this is beyond OpenLisp.
