+Each implementation of mal is separated into
11 incremental, self-contained (and testable) steps that demonstrate
core concepts of Lisp. The last step is capable of self-hosting

Mal was presented publicly for the first time in a lightning talk at
Clojure West 2014 (unfortunately there is no video). See
examples/clojurewest2014.mal for the presentation that was given at the
-conference (yes, the presentation is a mal program). At Midwest.io

## Building/running implementations
The simplest way to run any given implementation is to use docker.
make DOCKERIZE=1 "repl^IMPL"
```
+## External Implementations
+
+The following implementations are maintained as separate projects:
+
+### HolyC
+
+* [by Alexander Bagnalla](https://github.com/bagnalla/holyc_mal)
+
+### Rust
+
+* [by Tim Morgan](https://github.com/seven1m/mal-rust)
+* [by vi](https://github.com/vi/mal-rust-vi) - using [Pest](https://pest.rs/) grammar, not using typical Mal infrastructure (cargo-ized steps and built-in converted tests).
+
+
+## Other mal Projects
+
+ * [malc](https://github.com/dubek/malc) - Mal (Make A Lisp) compiler. Compiles a Mal program to LLVM assembly language, then binary.
+ * [malcc](https://github.com/seven1m/malcc) - malcc is an incremental compiler implementation for the Mal language. It uses the Tiny C Compiler as the compiler backend and has full support for the Mal language, including macros, tail-call elimination, and even run-time eval. ["I Built a Lisp Compiler"](https://mpov.timmorgan.org/i-built-a-lisp-compiler/) post about the process.
+ * [frock](https://github.com/chr15m/frock) - Clojure-flavoured PHP. Uses mal/php to run programs.
+ * [flk](https://github.com/chr15m/flk) - A LISP that runs wherever Bash is
+
+
+## Implementation Details
### Ada
(readline not implemented).
```
-cd ada
+cd impls/ada
+make
+./stepX_YYY
+```
+
+### Ada.2
+
+The second Ada implementation was developed with GNAT 8 and links with
+the GNU readline library.
+
+```
+cd impls/ada
make
./stepX_YYY
```
The GNU awk implementation of mal has been tested with GNU awk 4.1.1.
```
-cd gawk
+cd impls/gawk
gawk -O -f stepX_YYY.awk
```
### Bash 4
```
-cd bash
+cd impls/bash
bash stepX_YYY.sh
```
Generate C64 code and run it using cbmbasic:
```
-cd basic
+cd impls/basic
make stepX_YYY.bas
STEP=stepX_YYY ./run
```
Generate QBasic code and load it into qb64:
```
-cd basic
+cd impls/basic
make MODE=qbasic stepX_YYY.bas
./qb64 stepX_YYY.bas
```
Thanks to [Steven Syrek](https://github.com/sjsyrek) for the original
inspiration for this implementation.
+### BBC BASIC V
+
+The BBC BASIC V implementation can run in the Brandy interpreter:
+
+```
+cd impls/bbc-basic
+brandy -quit stepX_YYY.bbc
+```
+
+Or in ARM BBC BASIC V under RISC OS 3 or later:
+
+```

## Running tests

+implementation development and testing. The `help` target provides
+a list of the targets and options:
+
+```
+make help
+```
+
### Functional tests
-The are over 600 generic functional tests (for all implementations)
+The are almost 800 generic functional tests (for all implementations)
in the `tests/` directory. Each step has a corresponding test file
containing tests specific to that step. The `runtest.py` test harness
launches a Mal step implementation and then feeds the tests one at
a time to the implementation and compares the output/return value to
the expected output/return value.
-To simplify the process of running tests, a top level Makefile is
-provided with convenient test targets.
-
* To run all the tests across all implementations (be prepared to wait):
```
make "stats^js"
```
-* To report line and bytes statistics for general Lisp code (env, core
- and stepA):
-```
-make "stats-lisp^IMPL"
-
-# e.g.
-make "stats-lisp^js"
-```
-
## Dockerized testing
Every implementation directory contains a Dockerfile to create
directory so they will persist between runs.
-## External Implementations
-
-The following implementations are maintained as separate projects:
-
-### HolyC
-
-* [by Alexander Bagnalla](https://github.com/bagnalla/holyc_mal)
-
-### Rust
-
-* [by Tim Morgan](https://github.com/seven1m/mal-rust)
-* [by vi](https://github.com/vi/mal-rust-vi) - using [Pest](https://pest.rs/) grammar, not using typical Mal infrastructure (cargo-ized steps and built-in converted tests).
-
-
-## Projects using mal
-
- * [malc](https://github.com/dubek/malc) - Mal (Make A Lisp) compiler. Compiles a Mal program to LLVM assembly language, then binary.
- * [frock](https://github.com/chr15m/frock) - Clojure-flavoured PHP. Uses mal/php to run programs.
