In Rust:

use std;
import std::map;

enum Expression {
    Number(int),
    Add(@Expression, @Expression),
    Multiply(@Expression, @Expression),
    Variable(~str)
}

fn evaluate(env: map::hashmap<~str, int>, exp: Expression) -> int {
    match exp {
        Number(num) => num,
        Add(x, y) => evaluate(env, *x) + evaluate(env, *y),
        Multiply(x, y) => evaluate(env, *x) * evaluate(env, *y),
        Variable(id) => env.get(id)
    }
}

fn main() {
    let env = map::hash_from_strs([(~"a", 1), (~"b", 2), (~"c", 3)]);
    let tree = Add(@Variable(~"a"), @Multiply(@Number(2), @Variable(~"b")));

    io::println(#fmt("%d", evaluate(env, tree)));
}

A more idiomatic OCaml version :

type expression = 
    Number of int
  | Add of expression * expression
  | Multiply of expression * expression
  | Variable of string

let rec evaluate env = function
  | Number n -> n
  | Add (x, y) -> evaluate env x + evaluate env y
  | Multiply (x, y) -> evaluate env x * evaluate env y
  | Variable id -> env id

let environment = function "a" -> 3 | "b" -> 4 | "c" -> 5

let expressiontree1 = Add(Variable "a", Multiply(Number 2, Variable "b"))

let result = evaluate environment expressiontree1

OCaml code almost never annotates the types of parameters, and uses the function syntax instead of match when pattern-matching a function argument.

And a shorter OCaml variant, which uses polymorphic variants :

let rec evaluate env = function
  | `Number n -> n
  | `Add (x, y) -> evaluate env x + evaluate env y
  | `Multiply (x, y) -> evaluate env x * evaluate env y
  | `Variable id -> env id

let environment = function "a" -> 3 | "b" -> 4 | "c" -> 5

let expressiontree1 = `Add(`Variable "a", `Multiply(`Number 2, `Variable "b"))

let result = evaluate environment expressiontree1

This lets the type inference algorithm check whether the pattern-matched type is correct, instead of having the programmer write down the type specification.

And a third OCaml version, inspired by a comment on the Reddit thread :

module Expr = struct
  let c n = `Number n 
  let ( + ) a b = `Add (a,b) 
  let ( * ) a b = `Multiply (a,b) 
  let v k = `Variable k
end 

let rec evaluate env = function
  | `Number n -> n
  | `Add (x, y) -> evaluate env x + evaluate env y
  | `Multiply (x, y) -> evaluate env x * evaluate env y
  | `Variable id -> env id

let environment k = List.assoc [ "a",3 ; "b",4 ; "c",5 ]

let expressiontree1 = Expr.( v "a" + n 2 * v "b") 

let result = evaluate environment expressiontree1

Basic Python implementation:

class Expression(object):
    def eval(self, env):
        raise NotImplementedError('Subclasses must override.')

class Number(Expression):
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = value

    def eval(self, env):
        return self.value

class Add(Expression):
    def __init__(self, lhs, rhs):
        self.lhs = lhs
        self.rhs = rhs

    def eval(self, env):
        return self.lhs.eval(env) + self.rhs.eval(env)

class Multiply(Expression):
    def __init__(self, lhs, rhs):
        self.lhs = lhs
        self.rhs = rhs

    def eval(self, env):
        return self.lhs.eval(env) * self.rhs.eval(env)

class Variable(Expression):
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

    def eval(self, env):
        return env.get(self.name, 0)

environment = dict(a=3, b=4, c=7)
expression_tree = Add(Variable('a'), Multiply(Number(2), Variable('b')))
result = expression_tree.eval(environment)```

number, variable, add, multiply = "number", "variable", "add", "multiply"

def evaluate(env, exp):
if len(exp) == 2:
keyword, x = exp
elif len(exp) == 3:
keyword, x, y = exp
else:
raise Exception("Invalid expression")

eval_map = dict(number=lambda: x,
variable=lambda: env[x],
add=lambda: evaluate(env, x) + evaluate(env, y),
multiply=lambda: evaluate(env, x) * evaluate(env, y))
return eval_mapkeyword

expression_tree = [add, [variable, "a"], [multiply, [number, 2], [variable, "b"]]]
env = { "a": 3, "b": 4, "c": 5 }

print evaluate(env, expression_tree)

Another Python approach

from collections import namedtuple as nt

Number   = nt('Number'  , 'value')
Add      = nt('Add'     , 'lhs rhs')
Multiply = nt('Multiply', 'lhs rhs')
Variable = nt('Variable', 'name')

def eval(expr, env):
    return HANDLERS[expr.__class__](env, expr)

HANDLERS = {
    Number   : lambda env, e: e.value,
    Add      : lambda env, e: eval(e.lhs, env) + eval(e.rhs, env),
    Multiply : lambda env, e: eval(e.lhs, env) * eval(e.rhs, env),
    Variable : lambda env, e: env.get(e.name, 0)
}

environment = dict(a=3, b=4, c=7)
expression_tree = Add(Variable('a'), Multiply(Number(2), Variable('b')))
result = eval(expression_tree, environment)

In Go

package main

import (
"fmt"
)

var env = make(map[string]int)

type Expression interface {
Eval() int
}

type Variable string
func (e Variable) Eval() int {
return env[string(e)]
}

type Number int
func (n Number) Eval() int {
return int(n)
}

type Add struct {

return e.a.Eval()+e.b.Eval()
}

type Multiply struct {
a Expression

}
func (e Multiply) Eval() int {
return e.a.Eval()*e.b.Eval()
}

func main() {
env["a"]=3
env["b"]=4

ast := Add{Variable("a"), Multiply{Number(2), Variable("b")}}

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Map<String, Integer> environment = new TreeMap<>();
        environment.put("a", 3);
        environment.put("b", 4);
        environment.put("c", 5);

        Expression expression = new Add(new Variable("a"), new Multiply(new Number(2), new Variable("b")));
        System.out.println(evaluate(env, expressionTree));
    }
}

A Perl 6 version:

multi ev(['number', $n])       { $n }
multi ev(['add', $x, $y])      { ev($x) + ev($y) }
multi ev(['multiply', $x, $y]) { ev($x) * ev($y) }
multi ev(['variable', $name])  { %*env{$name} }

my %*env = a => 3, b => 4, c => 5;

my $tree = ['add', ['variable', 'a'], ['multiply', ['number', 2], ['variable', 'b']]];

say ev($tree);

Could pass the environment along with every call, like most other solutions, but it seemed more p6-ish to just define it as a contextual variable.

my C++ version:

#include <string>
#include <map>
#include <iostream>

class Cmd {
public:
  virtual int eval() const = 0;
};

class CmdNumber : public Cmd {
public:
  CmdNumber(int val)
  : _val(val)
  { }

  virtual int eval() const {
    return _val;
  }

private:
  int _val;
};

class CmdVariable : public Cmd {
public:
  CmdVariable(const char* var, const std::map<std::string, int>& variable_map)
  : _var(var), _variable_map(variable_map)
  { }

  virtual int eval() const {
    return _variable_map.find(_var)->second;
  }

private:
  const std::string _var;
  const std::map<std::string, int>& _variable_map;
};

class CmdAdd : public Cmd {
public:
  CmdAdd(const Cmd* a, const Cmd* b)
  : _a(a), _b(b)
  { }

  ~CmdAdd()
  {
    delete _a;
    delete _b;
  }

  virtual int eval() const {
    return _a->eval() + _b->eval();
  }
private:
  const Cmd* _a;
  const Cmd* _b;
};

class CmdMultiply : public Cmd {
public:
  CmdMultiply(const Cmd* a, const Cmd* b)
  : _a(a), _b(b)
  { }

  ~CmdMultiply()
  {
    delete _a;
    delete _b;
  }

  virtual int eval() const {
    return _a->eval() * _b->eval();
  }

private:
  const Cmd* _a;
  const Cmd* _b;
};


int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  std::map<std::string, int> vm;
  const Cmd* tree = new CmdAdd(new CmdVariable("a", vm), new CmdMultiply(new CmdNumber(2), new CmdVariable("b", vm)));
  vm["a"] = 3;
  vm["b"] = 4;
  vm["c"] = 5;
  std::cout << tree->eval() << std::endl;

  // cleanup
  delete tree;
}

Also, the ruby version did not run. I had to change it into this:

def evaluate(env, exp)
  keyword, a, b = exp
  case keyword
  when :number;   a
  when :variable; env[a]
  when :add;      evaluate(env, a) + evaluate(env, b)
  when :multiply; evaluate(env, a) * evaluate(env, b)
  end
end

ExpressionTree = [:add, [:variable, :a], [:multiply, [:number, 2], [:variable, :b]]]
Env = { :a => 3, :b => 4, :c => 5 }

puts evaluate(Env, ExpressionTree)

In Haxe:

enum Expression {
  Number(x:Int);
  Add(e1:Expression, e2:Expression);
  Multiply(e1:Expression, e2:Expression);
  Variable (x:String);
}

class Main {
  static function evaluate (env:Hash, e:Expression) return switch (e) {
    case Number(x): x;
    case Add(x,y): evaluate(env, x) + evaluate(env, y);
    case Multiply(x,y): evaluate(env, x) * evaluate(env, y);
    case Variable(x): if (env.exists(x)) env.get(x) else 0;
  }
  
  static function main () {
    var environment = new Hash();
    environment.set("a", 3);
    environment.set("b", 4);
    environment.set("c", 7);
    
    var expressionTree = Add(Variable("a"), Multiply(Number(2),Variable("b")));
    var result = evaluate(environment, expressionTree);
  }
}

Minimal python implementation:

Number = lambda env, n: n
Add = lambda env, a, b: evaluate(env, a) + evaluate(env, b)
Multiply = lambda env, a, b: evaluate(env, a) * evaluate(env, b)
Variable = lambda env, x: env[x]

evaluate = lambda env, expr: expr[0](env, *expr[1:])

expression_tree = (Add, (Variable, 'a'),
                        (Multiply, (Number, 2),
                                   (Variable, 'b')))
environment = {'a': 3, 'b': 4, 'c': 5}

print evaluate(environment, expression_tree)

Go OO-version:

Simple conversion of the original into Common Lisp:

(setq *expression-tree* '(add (variable "a") (multiply (number 2) (variable "b"))))

(defun evaluate (env tree)
  (let ((sym (car tree))
    (x (cadr tree))
    (y (caddr tree)))
    (case sym 
      ('number x)
      ('add      (+ (evaluate env x) (evaluate env y)))
      ('multiply (* (evaluate env x) (evaluate env y)))
      ('variable (cdr (assoc x *environment* :test 'string=))))))

(setq result (evaluate *environment* *expression-tree*))

Suffers slightly from not having a simple destructuring bind, and could probably be macro'd shorter if anyone wants a try.

How about a compile time implementation with boost::mpl?

WOW, why are these C++ solutions so bad:

#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_map>

using data=std::unordered_map<char, double>;

template<int D> struct val { 
    double operator() (const data&) const { return D; } 
};
template<char I> struct mis {
    double operator()(const data& v) const { return v.at(I); } 
};
template<typename Expr1, typename Expr2> struct add {
    double operator()(const data& v) const { return Expr1()(v)+Expr2()(v);  }
};
template<typename Expr1, typename Expr2> struct mul {
    double operator()(const data& v) const { return Expr1()(v)*Expr2()(v); }
};

int main() {
    add<
            mis<'a'>, 
            mul<
                    val<2>, 
                    mis<'b'>
            >
    > expression;

    double a=1, b=2; //or whatever
    std::cout << expression({ { 'a', a }, { 'b', b } }) << '\n';
    return 0;
}

A more elaborate Haskell version, removing some type restrictions (using GADTs). Note this contains some more types of Expression, and more demonstrations. It uses Monoid to handle lookup failures, similar to the original version, although I'd use some kind of error handling (Either?) myself.

{-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving, GADTs #-}

import Prelude hiding (lookup)

    Multiply :: Num a => Expression a -> Expression a -> Expression a
    Append :: Monoid a => Expression a -> Expression a -> Expression a
    Variable :: Monoid a => String -> Expression a

evaluate :: (String -> Maybe a) -> Expression a -> a
evaluate _ (Constant a) = a
evaluate lookup (Add a b) = evaluate lookup a + evaluate lookup b
evaluate lookup (Multiply a b) = evaluate lookup a * evaluate lookup b
evaluate lookup (Append a b) = evaluate lookup a `mappend` evaluate lookup b
evaluate lookup (Variable name) = fromMaybe mempty (lookup name)

result1 :: (Num a, Monoid a) => a
result1 = evaluate lookup tree
  where
    lookup = flip P.lookup bindings
    bindings = [("a", 3), ("b", 4), ("c", 7)]
    tree = Add (Add (Variable "a") (Multiply (Constant 2) (Variable "b"))) (Variable "nada")

-- This makes use of the Monoid instance of [] for Variable and Append
result2 :: String
result2 = evaluate lookup tree
  where
    lookup = flip P.lookup bindings
    bindings = [("name", "ast")]
    tree = Append (Append (Variable "name") (Constant " ")) (Constant "test")


-- For result1, we need a type with Num and Monoid instances due to the
-- usage of Add, Multiply and Variable
newtype MyInt = MyInt Int

Also a Python version:

/jab

In the Nu programming language (LISP/Ruby on top of Objective-C):

(load "Nu:match")

(function evaluate (env exp)
        (match exp
                (('Number   x  ) x)
                (('Add      x y) (+ (evaluate env x) (evaluate env y)))
                (('Multiply x y) (* (evaluate env x) (evaluate env y)))                
                (('Variable x  ) (env x))))

(set environment (dict "a" 3 "b" 4 "c" 5))

(set expression-tree '(Add (Variable "a") (Multiply (Number 2) (Variable "b"))))

(set result (evaluate environment expression-tree))

Terrible Java code above. Use inheritance, but then butcher it in the evaluate method.

import java.util.*;

public class Eval {
    Map<String, Integer> env;

    public Eval() {
        env = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
        env.put("a", 3);
        env.put("b", 4);
        env.put("c", 5);

        Expression expressionTree = new Add(new Variable("a"), new Multiply(new Number(2), new Variable("b")));
        System.out.println(expressionTree.eval());
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) { new Eval(); }
    abstract class Expression {
        abstract int eval();
    }
    class Number extends Expression {
        int x;
        Number(int x) {
            this.x = x;
        }
        @Override int eval() {
            return x;
        }
    }
    class Add extends Expression {
        Expression x,y;
        Add(Expression x, Expression y) {
            this.x = x;
            this.y = y;
        }
        @Override int eval() {
            return x.eval() + y.eval();
        }
    }
    class Multiply extends Add {
        Multiply(Expression x, Expression y) {
            super(x, y);
        }
        @Override int eval() {
            return x.eval() * y.eval();
        }
    }
    class Variable extends Expression {
        String x;
        Variable(String x) {
            this.x = x;
        }
        @Override int eval() {
            return env.get(x);
        }
    }
}

A mixed Xtend/Java version:

Java:

public interface Expr { int eval(Map env); }

Xtend:

class Eval {

    def static void main(String...args) { new Eval().run() }    // run inside an instance instead of statically so we can operator overloading (and use extensions)

    // for convenient AST construction:
    def Expr $(String varName)                          { [ get(varName) ] }
    def Expr $(int value)                               { [ value ] }
    def Expr operator_plus(Expr left, Expr right)       { [ left.eval(it) + right.eval(it) ] }
    def Expr operator_multiply(Expr left, Expr right)   { [ left.eval(it) * right.eval(it) ] }

    def run() {
        println( ( $('a') + $(2) * $('b') ).eval( newHashMap("a" -> 3, "b" -> 4, "c" -> 5) ) )
    }

}

The mixing is required because Xtend doesn't do interfaces (inner or no). This version is inspired by the Java8 example but also philosophically quite close to the Haskell-/FP-type solutions.

Lua:

local gm, sm = getmetatable, setmetatable

local new_exprt = function()
    return sm({}, { __call = function(et, ...) return sm({ ... }, et) end })
end

local Num, Add, Mul, Var = new_exprt(), new_exprt(), new_exprt(), new_exprt()

local eval
eval = function(env, exp)
    if     gm(exp) == Num then return exp[1]
    elseif gm(exp) == Add then return eval(env, exp[1]) + eval(env, exp[2])
    elseif gm(exp) == Mul then return eval(env, exp[1]) * eval(env, exp[2])
    elseif gm(exp) == Var then return env[exp[1]] end
end

local env = { a = 1, b = 2, c = 3 }
local expr_tree = Add(Var("a"), Mul(Num(2), Var("b")))
print(eval(env, expr_tree))

How about some smaller java code:

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public abstract class Eval<P> {
    abstract int get(P... params);

    static Eval<Integer> ADD = new Eval<Integer>() {
        @Override
        public int get(Integer... params) {
            return params[0] + params[1];
        };
    };
    static Eval<Integer> MULTIPLY = new Eval<Integer>() {
        @Override
        public int get(Integer... params) {
            return params[0] * params[1];
        }
    };
    static Map<String, Integer> variables = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
    static Eval<String> VARIABLE = new Eval<String>() {
        @Override
        public int get(String... params) {
            return variables.get(params[0]);
        };
    };

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        variables.put("a", 3);
        variables.put("b", 4);
        variables.put("c", 5);
        int result = ADD.get(VARIABLE.get("a"),
                MULTIPLY.get(2, VARIABLE.get("b")));
        System.out.println("Result: " + result);
    }
}

Racket: (I took some artistic license with how the "ast" is expressed)

#lang racket

(define (evaluate env exp)
  (match exp
    [(? number? x)   x                                    ]
    [`(+ ,x ,y)      (+ (evaluate env x) (evaluate env y))]
    [`(* ,x ,y)      (* (evaluate env x) (evaluate env y))]
    [(? symbol? v)   (hash-ref env v)                     ]))

(define environment (hash 'a 3 'b 4 'c 5))
(define expression-tree '(+ a (* 2 b)))
(define result (evaluate environment expression-tree))

Racket, using structs instead of s-expressions

#lang racket

(struct num (val))
(struct add (l r))
(struct mul (l r))
(struct id  (sym))

(define (evaluate env exp)
  (match exp
    [(num x)    x                                    ]
    [(add x y)  (+ (evaluate env x) (evaluate env y))]
    [(mul x y)  (* (evaluate env x) (evaluate env y))]
    [(id v)     (hash-ref env v)                     ]))

(define environment (hash 'a 3 'b 4 'c 5))
(define expression-tree (add (id 'a) (mul (num 2) (id 'b))))
(define result (evaluate environment expression-tree))

And finally, Typed Racket using structs

#lang typed/racket

(struct: num ([val : Number]))
(struct: add ([l : AST] [r : AST]))
(struct: mul ([l : AST] [r : AST]))
(struct: id  ([sym : Symbol]))

(define-type AST (U num add mul id))
(define-type Env (HashTable Symbol Number))

(: evaluate (Env AST -> Number))
(define (evaluate env exp)
  (match exp
    [(num x)    x                                    ]
    [(add x y)  (+ (evaluate env x) (evaluate env y))]
    [(mul x y)  (* (evaluate env x) (evaluate env y))]
    [(id v)     (hash-ref env v)                     ]))

(: environment Env)
(define environment (make-hash '((a . 3) (b . 4) (c . 5))))
(: expression-tree AST)
(define expression-tree (add (id 'a) (mul (num 2) (id 'b))))
(: result Number)
(define result (evaluate environment expression-tree))

Added a divide object and made add/multiply take variable numbers of args.

def Number(num)      ->(env){ num } end
def Variable(var)    ->(env){ env[var] } end
def Add(*args)       ->(env){ (n=args.pop) ? n.(env)+Add(*args).(env) : Number(0).(env) } end
def Multiply(*args)  ->(env){ (n=args.pop) ? n.(env)*Multiply(*args).(env) : Number(1).(env) } end
def Divide(num,dem)  ->(env){ num.(env) / dem.(env) } end

ExpressionTree = Add(Variable(:a), Variable(:c), Multiply(Number(2), Variable(:b), Number(6), Divide(Number(4), Variable(:d))))
Env = { a: 3, b: 4, c: 5, d: 2 }

I had to replace

A version in the D language:

[code]
module main;

alias int[string] env;
alias int delegate(env) expr;

auto number = (int i) => (env x) => i;
auto variable = (string s) => (env x) => x[s];
auto add = (expr i, expr j) => (env x) => i(x) + j(x);
auto multiply = (expr i, expr j) => (env x) => i(x) * j(x);

void main() {
auto e = ["a": 3, "b": 4, "c": 5];
auto tree = number(2).multiply("b".variable).add("a".variable);
tree(e).writeln;
}
[/code]

Since we're all joining in: a version in my own stack-based toy language, Déjà Vu:

Variable:

num:
    drop
add e t:
    + eval e &< t eval e &> t
mul e t:
    * eval e &< t eval e &> t
var:
    get-from

eval env tree:
    call &< tree env &> tree

print eval { :a 3 :b 4 :c 7 } Add Variable :a Multiply Number 2 Variable :b

Damn, you guys are C++ scrubs. Let the master show you how it's done.

#include <iostream>
#include <functional>
#include <unordered_map>
using namespace std;
int main() {
    map<string, int> vars = { { "a" , 3 }, { "b", 4 }, { "c", 5 } };
    auto tree = bind(plus<int>(), ref(variables["a"]), bind(multiplies<int>(), 2, ref(variables["b"])));
    cout << tree();
}

Of course, I renamed the map from the sample I was originally shown, then didn't update the variables, making me look like a complete nubcake. And I didn't #include <string> either. Oh well. Close enough.

The K Semantic Framework:

module EXP is
    syntax Exp ::= Exp "+" Exp [strict]
                 | Exp "*" Exp [strict]
                 | Int
                 | Id

    syntax KResult ::= Int

    configuration
        <k> $PGM:K </k>
        <env> $ENV:Map </env>

    rule I1:Int + I2:Int => I1 +Int I2
    rule I1:Int * I2:Int => I1 *Int I2

    rule
        <k> X:Id => I ...</k>
        <env>... X |-> I:Int ...</env>

end module

Run it:

$ cat pgm.exp 
a + (2 * b)
$ krun --ENV="a |-> 3  b |-> 4" pgm.exp        
<k>                     
  11
</k>
<env>
  a |-> 3
  b |-> 4
</env>

Objective-C version using blocks (closures):

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

typedef int (^Expression)(NSDictionary *env);

Expression number(int x) {
  return ^(NSDictionary *env) { return x;};
}

Expression add(Expression x, Expression y) {
  return ^(NSDictionary *env) { return x(env) + y(env);};
}

Expression multiply(Expression x, Expression y) {
  return ^(NSDictionary *env) { return x(env) * y(env);};

    Expression expressionTree = add(variable(@"a"), multiply(number(2), variable(@"b")));
    NSLog(@"%d", expressionTree(environment));
  } 
  return 0;

@julianstorer, so you have just removed a few newlines and use unique_ptr. I'd say the code still is awful, it is conceptionally exactly the same. Also you are not const correct any more.

}

environment = {a:3, b:4, c:5};

expression_tree = {Add:[{Variable:'a'}, {Multiply:[{'Number':2}, {Variable:'b'}]}]};

function result() { return evaluate(environment, expression_tree); }

Using Attribute Grammars we can write in in a compositional way. Of course a more concise version is possible, but this way the code is nicely split up into separate aspects. Syntax is that of UUAGC, a preprocessor for Haskell.

imports
{
import Data.Map
}

-- Constants and addition
data Expression
  | Number   n    :: Integer
  | Add      l, r :: Expression

attr Expression
  syn eval :: Integer

sem Expression
  | Number   lhs.eval = @n
  | Add      lhs.eval = @l.eval + @r.eval

-- Add multiplication
data Expression
  | Multiply l, r :: Expression

sem Expression
  | Multiply lhs.eval = @l.eval * @r.eval

-- Add variables and environment
data Expression
  | Variable var  :: String

{type Env = Map String Integer}
attr Expression
  inh env  :: Env

sem Expression
  | Variable lhs.eval = findWithDefault 0 @var @lhs.env

-- Testing code
{
environment :: Env
environment = fromList [("a",3), ("b",4), ("c",7)]

expressionTree :: Expression
expressionTree = Add (Variable "a") (Multiply (Number 2) (Variable "b"))

-- General interface to get the "eval" attribute from the expression,
-- given the "env" inherited attribute
result :: Integer
result = eval_Syn_Expression $ wrap_Expression (sem_Expression expressionTree)
         $ Inh_Expression { env_Inh_Expression = environment }

-- Simple interface, since there is only 1 inherited and only 1 synthesized attribute
result2 :: Integer
result2 = sem_Expression expressionTree environment
}

using overloading of numeric operators and strings in Haskell we get:

import Data.String
import Data.Maybe
import Control.Monad

type Expr = ([(String, Integer)] -> Integer)

instance Num  Expr where
  (+)         = liftM2 (+)
  (*)         = liftM2 (*)
  fromInteger = const

instance IsString Expr where
  fromString x = fromJust . lookup x

main = print $ ("a" + 2 * "b" :: Expr) 
               [("a",3), ("b",4), ("c",7)]

Using AspectAG, a Haskell library of strongly typed Attribute Grammars.
The code is similar to the UUAGC code posted before, but it's written directly in Haskell (+ extensions).

-- In this example implementation we have placed all different aspects 
-- in a single file. 
-- Notice however that the code for e.g. the addition, the multiplication 
-- and the variable case could have been distributed over three different 
-- files which can be compiled separately

function Times(x,y) { this.x = x; this.y = y; }
function Const(k) { this.k = k; }

var environment = { a:3, b:5, c:5 };
var expression = new Plus(new Var("a"),new Times(new Const(2),new Var("b")));

console.log(expression.eval(environment));

Slight nitpick, but in the scala and F# versions, the definition of environment is needlessly broken into 3 lines, while in other languages it is done in one line. That artificially inflates the number of lines. The F# version also includes comments while none of the others do. You should be consistent for more direct comparison.

                );

        System.Console.WriteLine(expression.Compile()(environment));
        System.Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

Another Scala approach:

object ExprEval extends App {
  type Expr = Map[Symbol, Int] => Int

  def number    (value: Int): Expr        = env => value
  def variable  (sym: Symbol): Expr       = env => env(sym)
  def multiply  (a: Expr, b: Expr): Expr  = env => a(env) * b(env)
  def add       (a: Expr, b: Expr): Expr  = env => a(env) + b(env)

  val environment = Map('a -> 1, 'b -> 2, 'c -> 3)
  val expressionTree = add(variable('a), multiply(number(2), variable('b)))

  println(expressionTree(environment))
}

Also with scalaz and Reader Monad we can bind our symbols to real variables and then write whole equation inside yield like we would normally do using language constructs:

import scalaz._, Scalaz._

object ExprEval extends App {
  def variable(symbol: Symbol) = Reader((env: Map[Symbol, Int]) => env(symbol))

  val environment = Map('a -> 1, 'b -> 2, 'c -> 3)
  val expressionTree = for {
    a <- variable('a)
    b <- variable('b)
  } yield a + (2 * b)

  println(expressionTree(environment))
}

What is worth noting is that we are not limited to + and * operations, but we get all other language constructs for free:

val expressionTree = for { 
  a <- variable('a)
  b <- variable('b)
  c <- variable('c) 
} yield math.pow(a + (2 * b) % c * 0.4f, 2)

A bit more idiomatic C#

using System;

using Env = System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, int>;

delegate int Expr(Env e);

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Func<string, Expr> Var = s => env => env[s];
        Func<int, Expr> Num = i => env => i;
        Func<Expr, Expr, Expr> Add = (x, y) => env => x(env) + y(env);
        Func<Expr, Expr, Expr> Mul = (x, y) => env => x(env) * y(env);

        var expr = Add(Var("a"), Mul(Num(2), Var("b")));

        Console.WriteLine(expr(new Env { { "a", 3 }, { "b", 4 }, { "c", 5 } }));
    }
}

Using Star:

package exp{
  type Exp is Var(string)
                or Num(integer)
                or Add(Exp,Exp)
                or Mul(Exp,Exp);
  Eval(Var(Nm),env) is env[Nm];
  Eval(Num(I),_) is I;
  Eval(Add(L,R),env) is Eval(L,env) + Eval(R,env)
  Eval(Mul(L,R),env) is Eval(L,env) * Eval(R,env)

  main() do {
    logMsg(info,"Answer $(Eval(Add(Var("a"),Mul(Num(2),Var("b"))),
                                                 map of {"a"->3; "b"->4; "c"->5}))");
  }
}

Vim Script

function! s:eval(env, exp)
    let l:type = a:exp[0]
    if l:type == "Number"
        return a:exp[1]
    elseif l:type == "Variable"
        return a:env[a:exp[1]]
    elseif l:type == "Add"
        return s:eval(a:env, a:exp[1]) + s:eval(a:env, a:exp[2])
    elseif l:type == "Multiply"
        return s:eval(a:env, a:exp[1]) * s:eval(a:env, a:exp[2])
    endif
    echoerr "Arguments Error"
endfunction

function! s:run()
    let exp_tree = ["Add", ["Variable", "a"], ["Multiply", ["Number", 2], ["Variable", "b"]]]
    let env = {"a":3, "b" : 4, "c" : 5 }
    echomsg s:eval(env, exp_tree)
