I am writing a toy lisp compiler as a learning experience. Its taking forever to get anywhere but I am finding the journey is more interesting than the destination. I'm trying the garbage collector for the second time. My first attempt ate the stack and I found it hard to reason about or debug. I'll try and finish the gc this time but I only recently realized that I didn't need to start writing one at all. For the first version I could have just allocated memory without deallocating.
