Drup / Functoria Lua

Functoria-lua

Lua-ml is a modular Lua interpreter written in OCaml. "Modular" here means that every part of the interpreter is expressed as a functor parametrized over its dependencies. It allows users to add new primitives and replace parts as desired.

Functoria is a library to create DSL manipulating such functor-based libraries. It was originally created for mirageOS (See this blog post for more details).

functoria-lua uses functoria to define a set of combinators to build customized lua intepretors with lua-ml. See the example directory.

Install

You will need the following things:

• A version of functoria that support projections: https://github.com/mirage/functoria/pull/150
• An opamified version of lua-ml: https://github.com/lindig/lua-ml/pull/3

Then you can pin this repository:

opam pin add functoria-lua "https://github.com/Drup/functoria-lua.git"

To try out the example:

cd example/
functoria-lua config
opam install --deps .
functoria-lua build
