Hacking S-expressions into Ruby

• _mikz 12y ago
  ` puts RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile('[]').disasm` points to `newarray` which is YARV instruction: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/ca6b174078fa15f33655be704d9409fdbc4f9929/insns.def#L423 https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/ca6b174078fa15f33655be704d...

    I don't suppose there's a way to hook into newarray ...? Maybe a gem with a C component could provide a hook?

      At some point it's surely simpler just to write a Lisp interpreter instead.

        Or switch to Elixir and its nifty macro system, which I did.

    That version only works with 1.8. There is an updated fork though, sexp_processor: https://github.com/seattlerb/sexp_processor https://github.com/seattlerb/sexp_processor
