It's all about transformation of code to other code... and we can be more flexible in our classification. If modern languages even need one.
- agumonkey 4y agoI never found a book that talked about the relationship between these fully. lisp in small pieces does try to convey the idea that interpretation and compilation are siblings (by partially deriving a transformer from an interpreter and ultimately a bytecode vm) but it would be worth a full book.
