[R] making-a-lisp implementation of R

[Jeremie Juste]

Hello,

I was trying to make my R implementation of making-a-lisp
https://github.com/kanaka/mal/tree/master/

And to my surprise I got stuck in the starting blocks. There is already
a mal implementation of R here
https://github.com/kanaka/mal/tree/master/r but it uses rdyncall package
which is not on CRAN anymore and I thought it would be fun to try my
skills here

The following code is step0_repl.r but it does pass the test. Do you
have any idea why?


READ <- function(arg){
    return(arg)
    }


EVAL <- function(arg){
    return(arg)
}

PRINT <- function(arg){
    return(arg)
}

REP <- function(arg){
    PRINT(EVAL(READ(arg)))
}





tryCatch({
    while(TRUE){
        cat("user> ")
        input <- tryCatch(readLines(n=1),error=function(e) character(0))
        if (identical(input,character(0))) {            
            stop
        } else{
            if(input==""){next} else
                                  cat(REP(input),"\n",sep="")
        }
    }
},error=function(err){
    cat( err$message,"\ninput: ",input,"\n", sep="")
})




Best regards,

Jeremie
