A week of Lisp in Madrid 11 Jun 2013 | 04:08 am
Jose Maria Cuellar Geeks from all Lisps of life met in Madrid last week for the European Common Lisp Meeting and European Lisp Symposium 2013. A lot of things happened, so I'll just recount the most...
Wat: now in Perl, too 29 May 2013 | 03:10 am
I'm delighted somebody by the name of "shadowcat-mst" has taken my Wat interpreter and reimplemented it in Perl. That really seems fitting. Wat now covers JavaScript and Perl - think of the possibilit...
Quotes on Scheme hygienic macros 10 May 2013 | 01:36 pm
The scheme community is now very invested in its macrology; they got there by long hard work and emotional processing and yelling and screaming and weeping and gnashing of teeth, and they still rememb...
A new low in programming language design and implementation 10 May 2013 | 04:35 am
The new Wat is the best, most lightweight way to implement a JavaScript-based programming language I have found so far. Basically, I get away from JS as quickly and painlessly as possible, and start ...

I've written two Lisps (1, 2) with quasiquotation, and in both, quasiquotation was the most difficult thing to implement, and gave me the most headaches. That shouldn't be, right? After all, it only c...
Taf's translation to O'Caml for type-checking 1 Feb 2013 | 10:06 pm
Taf is my new vapor-Lisp with row polymorphism, delimited continuations, and hygienic macros. Taf has a class-based object system with no inheritance. A class defines which slots an instance of this ...
Current project 15 Jan 2013 | 02:24 am
In my quest for a good Lisp, I could no longer ignore static types. See Taf - A plan for a statically-typed Lisp. There shouldn't be any difficult roadblocks, so I expect a release sometime in or be...
