I'm not sure how useful this is for interpreters in general, given the frankly bizarre design decisions. My normal rant about bad interpreter design assumes things not seen here.
- kragen 2y agoare you talking about the design decisions that define smalltalk or something else
- o11c 2y agoI'm not talking about the inner language semantics (which mostly don't matter, other than what optimizations they allow - particularly static typing and SROA), but the implementation of the interpreters themselves.
- kragen 2y agowhat do you think is unusual about the interpreter implementation? from what i read of the post (admittedly not all of it) it sounds like a fairly by-the-book smalltalk-80 blue book thingamabob?
- moonchild 2y agoi saw this last week and was incredibly confused. aside from being naive it's totally overfit where general approaches are very well known??
