- Skinney 6y agoQuite pleasent :) Compilers are really just pure functions of String -> String/Bytes, so a pure functional language is a pretty good fit. Besides, I know Elm like the back of my hand. I’d probably write in Elm even if it was a poor fit.
- carapace 6y agoVery interesting, thanks. I'm working with Joy using Prolog and it's dreamy. I just started to work on a compiler (until I got sidetracked) so I'm going to read your code with interest. (I thought about WASM as a target but I'm not trying to make a real language.)
