A simple meta-circular JavaScript interpreter written in JavaScript, intended as a toy/educational project demonstrating interpreter design. It parses and evaluates JavaScript code using JavaScript itself as the host language.

Use cases

• understand how a JavaScript interpreter works internally
• study meta-circular evaluation and interpreter design
• run JavaScript code inside JavaScript with a custom evaluator
• learn parser and evaluator implementation techniques
• use as a teaching example for programming language courses

When to choose

• you want a small, readable codebase to learn interpreter internals
• you need a teaching-level example of meta-circular evaluation in JavaScript
• you want to experiment with modifying language semantics in a toy interpreter

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade or spec-compliant JavaScript engine
• you require performance, security sandboxing, or full ES standard support
• you need a maintained project with active development or a license
