luajit was the first implementation I've seen, but it's author Mike Pall said soemewhere that this was an old technique, or more like that it could've been known before. I remember reading aome lisp paper from th 90s where sifferent encoding techniques/boxings were mentioned, and one of them was it (I thnink).
- krickle 14y agoI first read about it on wingolog.org, and IIRC there was mention of an implementation of Guile using it. I think that supports your paper as evidence. Very cool technique, but I would rather give preference to integers and pointers.
