[Link article to other language version] Implementation example of simple LISP processing system [Summary of each language version]
This article is an implementation example of a simple LISP processing system ("McCarthy's Original Lisp") that uses an excerpt / modification of the Java version of the following article. It is a summary.
In the case of implementing a LISP processing system with the minimum functions, it is very easy to implement the eval, which is the main body, but rather, S-expression input / output and list processing implementation that perform lexical / parsing are developed. It is summarized for those who have a lot of trouble for each language and it is a threshold.
The execution example is as follows. Confirmed with Java 11.0.8.
$ java jmclisp
(car (cdr '(10 20 30)))
20
$ java jmclisp
((lambda (x) (car (cdr x))) '(abc def ghi))
def
$ java jmclisp
((lambda (f x y) (f x (f y '()))) 'cons '10 '20)
(10 20)
$ java jmclisp
((lambda (f x y) (f x (f y '())))
 '(lambda (x y) (cons x (cons y '())))
 '10 '20)
(10 (20 ()))
$ java jmclisp
((lambda (assoc k v) (assoc k v))
 '(lambda (k v)
    (cond ((eq v '()) nil)
          ((eq (car (car v)) k)
           (car v))
          ('t (assoc k (cdr v)))))
 'Orange
 '((Apple . 120) (Orange . 210) (Lemmon . 180)))
(Orange . 210)
The implementation contents are as follows.
quote (') should be used for variable values.quote, cond and lambda can be used as syntax ʻeq cons`` car cdr (create cons cell internally)t (true) and nil (false) = empty list = " nil "For more information on "McCarthy's Original Lisp", see Summary Article. Since it is a dynamic scope, lambda expressions are used instead of letrec (Scheme) and labels (Common Lisp) in the execution example.

List processing: cons`` car cdr ʻeq ʻatom, S-expression output: s_string
Excerpt from Previous article. Conscell is constructed using Object type.
S-expression input: s_lex and s_syn
Newly created. The lexical analysis part s_lex arranges one character string by identifying()and', and the abstract syntax tree generation part s_syn supports parentheses nested dots vs. quote symbols, and is a list processing function. Generate a syntax tree.
Evaluator: s_eval + utility function
Created s_eval and utility functions based on "McCarthy's Original Lisp".
REP (no Loop):s_rep
Define s_rep which is a collection of s_lex → s_syn → s_eval → s_string. Also, describe to input multiple lines until a blank line is input with the main function to make one character string, and pass it to s_rep.
