I'm reading "Lisp in Small Pieces" by Christian Queinnec, which is a book that incrementally builds a scheme interpreter with increasing functionality. I could get away with using Guile to run the earlier examples, but by Chapter 3 I had to use one of the lisp interpreters that the author suggested in his code repo (https://pages.lip6.fr/Christian.Queinnec/Books/LiSP-2ndEditi...). I ended up settling on SCHEME->C and this presentation reminded me of this project and associated work by Joel Bartlett. Checkout the debian code repo (sudo apt-get install scheme2c scheme2c-doc) and the research report for the project:
* https://github.com/barak/scheme2c
* http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/Compaq-DEC/WRL-89-1.pdf If this presentation appeals to you at all I highly recommend reading Lisp in Small Pieces. It provides a great balance between implementation and theory that you get something running in every chapter and lots of recommendations as to where to go if you want more information. I'm about half way through and I look forward to my 2-3 hours every night that I spend on it. |
