Gregory's ServerI was helping a friend with their toy scheme compiler last night and we got talking again about SECD, and to help explain the thing, I started putting together a base implementation of the abstract machine's runtime so we could target it with their compiler. It has been a long time since I played with SECD so I've updated the lisp documentation on the XXIIVV wiki with a couple of notes of things I had forgotten.

 @neauoire if you dont mind esolangs, http://www.blue.sky.or.jp/grass/ Wrote very little code today, I closed Henderson's "Application and Implementation", and reopened SICP.. I felt like I needed a refresher of the last chapters(esp. the one about a LISP implementation). So yeah, today was drinking lots of tea, scrolling up and down the wizard pdf, maybe I should get the actual book at some point.. @neauoire ah, i've been reading sicp on and off for the last while. it's a really cute little book. i feel like every time i look at it i gain a deeper appreciation for scheme @neauoire do you have the physical version of it? I wanted to find a second hand copy but it's hard to find or almost as expensive as new |
Finished preparing the SECD runtime, I've been wondering if there ever were other functional languages designed to target it besides Pure Lisp(Lispkit), I looked around a bit but I couldn't find any. I noticed there was very little documentation out there on it, so I've started a page of my own. I think I might expand the self-hosted compiler to support line comments and the 'quote expression, because in its current state it's a bit of a pain to use.
