There is absolutely no way you'll remember this but years and years ago--when I was maybe 13--I found Katahdin somewhere online and was absolutely enamored by the idea (I can say with a lot of confidence that it's what sparked my interest in programming languages/compiler research). I think I contacted you for help installing and using the project. You were one of the nicest people I've ever met for having the patience to assist me with something you had probably put down for a couple of years at that point when I probably understood 0% of what you were saying. Anyways, I remember at the time you had just listed Mersey Burns on your website. It's super cool to see that it's still something that you're doing and that it's been a success. Just wanted to thank you again and congratulate you on this :)
- chrisseaton 8y agoThanks very much. Katahdin sort of lives on in Truffle and TruffleRuby https://chrisseaton.com/truffleruby/ https://chrisseaton.com/truffleruby/ - Truffle is a framework for implementing languages that use partial evaluation of ASTs.
