Stack vs AST

[VAK-53]

I also planned to develop a Forth interpreter on/for Elixir, so before starting work, I would like to ask one architectural question:
You have chosen to build an AST with a parser. Is it possible to use the parser's output data, ready for the stack, without building a tree?

Sincerely, your supporter.

Hi there,
a Forth interpreter for Elixir sounds like a cool project!

Regarding the architecture: I was resembling an implementation in Golang that works with Lexer, Parser and Evaluator and therefore I also went with this approach.

I fear that I won't be of much help with your question: I cannot tell you what you would need to do to skip the AST and I am also not an expert when it comes to Forth.

I think you just have to give it a try! :)

Cheers,
Christian
