D.6 Example Usage: Non-interactively and Interactively (CLI)

Once students have some experience implementing language interpreters, they can begin to discern how to use the language itself to support features that are not currently supported in the interpreter. For instance, prior to supporting recursive functions in Camille, students can simulate support for recursion by passing a function to itself:

Other example programs, including an example more faithful to the tenets of object orientation, especially encapsulation, are available in the Camille Git repository at https://bitbucket.org/camilleinterpreter/camille-interpreter-in-python-release/. These programs demonstrate that we can create object-oriented abstractions from within the Camille language.
