What is Lox?

Lox is a Dynamically Typed Programming Language created by Bob Nystrom for his excellent book Crafting Interpreters.

What is Lox Language

This is a simple syntax-highlighting module for .lox files. It doesn't contain snippets, autocomplete, error highlighting or anything fancy like that.

If you want an implementation of the Lox language, the source for Bob Nystrom's initial Java implementation, "jlox" is located here, and if you want a Javascript implementation that can be run in your browser, I recommend you try YALI.js, my implementation of the Lox language.
