CodeX - Interpreted, Object-Oriented Programming Language

CodeX is a small, interpreted, object-oriented, and statically-typed programming language that I developed to explore language design and implementation. It features custom syntax, an interpreter, and basic memory management, making it a great learning project for understanding how programming languages work under the hood.

🚀 Features

✅ Interpreted Execution – Code is executed line by line, making debugging easier.
✅ Object-Oriented – Supports classes, objects, and inheritance.
✅ Statically Typed – Ensures type safety at compile time, reducing runtime errors.
✅ Custom Syntax & Parser – A unique syntax designed from scratch with a tokenizer and AST-based interpreter.
✅ Basic Memory Management – Uses reference counting for garbage collection.

🛠 Technologies Used

• Node.js – For file handling and execution of the interpreter.
• JavaScript – Core implementation of tokenization, parsing, and execution.

📌 Example Code

class Person {
    let name: string;

    func init(name: string) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    func greet() {
        print("Hello, my name is " + this.name);
    }
}

let p = new Person("Advay");
p.greet();  // Output: Hello, my name is Advay

🔍 How It Works

1. Lexical Analysis – Converts raw source code into tokens.
2. Parsing – Constructs an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) for structured execution.
3. Type Checking – Ensures variables and expressions follow static typing rules.
4. Interpretation – The AST is traversed, and code is executed dynamically.
