Yours is a lisp-like, so much easier to parse; and it doesn't have the nice in-dom ast viewer nor nearly the same number of comments (I compared with http://eloquentjavascript.net/code/chapter/11_language.js).

It's even more interesting because it's part of book. Just setting the expectations, because it's not an apple-to-apple comparison.

The AST viewer is not included in the 450 lines, although the comments are. Most of the difference is due to the more sophisticated parser and some extra features like arrays.
