♡Crafted
A Lisp interpreter implemented entirely in SQL using Materialize's recursive dataflows and fixed-point iteration. It evaluates Lisp expressions encoded as JSON, supporting arithmetic, conditionals, list operations, user-defined functions, and lexical scoping—demonstrating advanced SQL capabilities for language implementation and functional computation.

Highlights
- ✓Extremely creative use of SQL for language implementation, pushing the boundaries of what's traditionally possible in SQL
- ✓Leverages Materialize's advanced features like mutual recursion and iterative dataflows in a sophisticated way
- ✓Demonstrates proper lexical scoping and supports both recursion and mutual recursion in a SQL context
To Improve
- →Include actual SQL implementation code, test cases, and usage examples since the README only contains overview without showing the core interpreter logic
- →Add setup instructions for Materialize, sample Lisp expressions to try, and performance benchmarks to make the project more accessible and demonstrable
