this looks suspiciously similar to my analysis of programing languages class

It will look suspiciously similar to the Scripting Language Design and Implementation class that I'll be teaching.

This kind of stuff also showed up in my program analysis and advanced compiler classes, too.

One of the class projects was to implement first-class macros, and we used an interpreter that looked a lot like the one from this article:

Be glad you didn't go to school 20 years ago. I had to build a Lisp-1 REPL in Pascal on an IBM mainframe without a debugger for my programming languages class.

(I also had to walk to class barefoot in the snow uphill both ways)

If you went to the University of Utah, he probably taught it (http://matt.might.net/#teaching).
epic sms (small world syndrome) if this was his teacher

Unless you live in Australia.
