Take it a step lower and do one in assembly and it is even more fun. I almost have enough code together to say that I'm doing one in RISC-V assembly. At this point I have already accidentally picked up a more intuitive understanding of how a lisp compiler works.

Assembly? Hell, I did mine in microcode, VHDL, and telepathy using a tachyon-driven IDE. It was done before I started.

What about this guy who created universe where life evolved and wrote lisp interpreter for him. That is low level my friend.

I am constantly being outclassed

Funny you should say that:

That is beautifully well documented. Are you planning to extend it further or do any similar projects?

[marcpaq]

Thanks. The inspiration was jonesforth.

I have no plans to extend it.

A similar project I've considered: write an Algol compiler in assembly. Algol is another elegant, influential language originally implemented in assembly.
