Thrax is a little toy programming language I threw together in my free time near the end of 2022. My primary motivation was to learn more of the fine-point details of how dynamically-typed interpreted languages worked (JavaScript, Python and Ruby). In the future, I intend of doing a full write-up of the process and what it taught me on the way.

I was also working on a project at work that involved low-level parsing and interpretation of JavaScript code. While we were using SWC for the actual parsing, writing my own parser gave me a much better understanding of how everything fit together.

You don't have to download or install anything to start using Thrax. Play around with the language and experiment with a few demo scripts at the interactive sandbox.

While it should be trivial to add Thrax to your Rust project, I do not recommend doing so for anything important. At the moment, I do not have the time to maintain or otherwise continue working on Thrax.
