- cies 6y agoI'd reverse it: every program can also be interpreted as a data-structure. And this is what the article is about, it's just a lot more in depth dissecting all the ingredients needed to get there.
- tom_mellior 6y agoEvery program in every programming language is interpreted as a data structure. Otherwise we would not have compilers and interpreters.
