Soup

Soup is a simple interpreted language, the runtime for which is written in Elixir.

It looks like this:

let x = 1
let y = 2

let add = |x, y| {
    x + y
}

let z = add(x, y)

It’s largely an adaption of the Simple language from the first few chapters of Tom Stuart’s excellent [Understanding Computation][book]. Go grab a copy.
