About the Book
This book documents the process of create the first version of my programming language called CLASP. The language has a syntax which is a combination of aspects from both C and LISP, with a compilation and run-time environment similar to Java. The language gets most of its physical syntax structure from Lisp, however the functionality and low-level nature is what it takes from C.
The contents of this book start from the very beginning where I start writing a virtual machine to run a custom instruction set. For this instruction set I also define an assembly language called CLASM, which more closely relates to the compiled machine code that the virtual machine will be running. Finally, I will follow step-by-step through my decision making and implementation of making the full CLASP language, all while sharing what I have learned along the way.
