Your compiler challenge is probably flawed.

"a small Java program capable of compiling the code and returning the correct output"

Did you mean to ask for an interpreter rather than compiler?

Also, the functional language level doesn't seem particularly functional.


Well, Java compiles to bytecode. The bytecode gets interpreted at runtime by the JVM. In this context, the line between a compiler and an interpreter is fuzzy.

I guess the developer who wrote the challenge just wanted to find someone who is capable of developing and maintaining a language, written in java, to design 3d shapes for their 3d printer.


I know what the developer probably means, but I think he should be more clear and answer a few questions before somebody commits a weekend to work on his task.
