KommandoInterpreter

KommandoInterpreter is a software component responsible for parsing, validating, and executing programs written in the Kommando language. It serves as the runtime engine for automation scripts and can be embedded into host applications or used standalone.

The architecture includes a lexer, a parser producing an abstract syntax tree, a semantic analyzer, and an executor. A modular core supports extensions through a plugin system, enabling custom commands and adapters for external resources. The interpreter emphasizes security and determinism, offering sandboxing and configurable resource limits.

Key features include support for synchronous and asynchronous commands, error propagation with line and column information, and a built-in library of primitives for file I/O, environment manipulation, process invocation, and network requests. Debugging tools include a REPL, execution tracing, breakpoints, and snapshot-based state inspection. It also supports hot-swapping of extensions and cross-language bindings via a defined API.

Usage: Typical deployment involves integrating KommandoInterpreter into automation suites, IDEs, or server environments. Scripts with the Kommando language file extension are loaded and executed by the interpreter, which reports errors and optionally logs activity. The component is cross-platform and designed to work with multiple host runtimes, including native applications and managed environments.

Limitations: As with any interpreter, performance may vary with script complexity, and correct use of sandboxing is essential for security.
