The whole idea of irishman is to emulate other programming languages in a lightweight manner. Currently, a majority of code execution platforms have a number of language runtimes installed on their machines, and they simply run the code. That is not how irishman works. Irishman works by defining a schema for all programming languages. From there, each language can be referenced and code can be run within it using the irishman emulator. Irishman gives you the keys at every step. So, if you would like to read through the AST, list of tokens, or redefine a languages standard library, you are given full access to do so. On top of being a runtime, Irishman has several utility features such as generating standard library documentation, linting code, building syntax highlighting schemas, etc.

Features

• X Token parsing from text
• X Syntax highlighting from language definition
• AST parsing from token list
• Running of AST as code
• Define standard libraries for each language
• Automatically generate documentation from code
• Convert code into an explaination
