It seems a bit of a stretch to describe that program as an implementation of a Lisp interpreter, then.

- kaba0 5y agoIn case the given host implementation can be AOT compiled, the resulting binary will for all practical purposes be a LISP interpreter. Bootstrapping isn’t rare in this area.
- hnfong 5y agoThis sounds like "Given that modern Javascript engines have JIT capabilities, the eval() function is for all practical purposes a Javascript interpreter"...
- mjw1007 5y agoI agree that the resulting binary is a Lisp interpreter. But I don't think the program presented in this link was its implementation.
