How far will I take this project? I’m not sure. Chapter 4 is
"Assignment and Side Effects," so I’ll do that. Chapter 5 is theory,
and 6 implementation, of a "fast interpreter" of the kind French
programming language guys apparently love to study. I’ll read them, but
I’m not sure what code I’ll generate out of that. Chapter 7,
"Compilation," is interesting in that he starts by defining a VM that on
top of which our bytecode will run, and implement both the VM and the
compiler in Scheme. I think I want to do that chapter, and then
re-write the compiler to create LLVM-compatible code instead, just to
learn LLVM. Chapter 8 implements EVAL, chapter 9 has Macros, and
chapter 10 has Object-Oriented Lisp. So I’ll probably do those as well.
And then... we’ll see. I surprised myself by doing Chapter 3 in less
than two weeks.
