Loz

This is a Zig implementation of Crafting Interpreters.

The current implementation is using data-oriented design. I was curious to implement it after learning that the Zig compiler relies on DoD. With this implementation, I reduced memory allocations and made memory ownership clearer (for me).

You can find the original version in the archive/ directory.

Note: I did not do every challenge. I will try to complete it or move advance to the next chapter.
