API Docs

.lifp files can be edited with tools supporting lisps. Common Lisp's syntax highlighters seem to work particularly well.

Some examples:

• in Vim you can just add the following modline at the end of your file

; vim: ft=lisp

• in Visual Studio Code use the Common Lisp VSCode extension

This project is written in C23, therefore you need LLVM 20 or newer.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/shikaan/lifp.git
cd lifp

# Start the REPL
make repl

# Run tests
make test

# Build the binaries
make

The binary will be created in the bin directory.
