I want to read, and learn from, the source code of a scripting language’s interpreter/compiler. What scripting language interpreter/compiler has the simplest, cleanest, and easiest to read source code? I would prefer it to be written in C/C++ (what else are compilers written in anyway?) because I’m planning on writing a compiler in C.
Take a look at lua, you can go through the firsts versions of the programming language and see how it has evolved. It’s written in C and has a clean and nice code. You can write a compiler in almost every programming language, but C has been the one that most programmers chose.
