holy s-expression batman!
so, I've been working on a much-too-big-for-ten-weeks project for the past seven weeks. a (relatively) small, functional, lazy-evaluated language that is dynamically (and strongly) typed and garbage collected.
I'd like to announce, that just now, I've _finally_ gotten the language/interpreter itself and the first garbage collector finished.
WOW.
oddly, the garbage collector its self took very little time.
writing the interpreter for the language didn't take that long either. (though my initial attempt at lazy-evaluation was rather half-assed and broken)
it was actually retro-fitting the interpreter to support garbage collection and writing a memory manager (malloc/free-ish) and internal execution stack that took so damn long.
the next one, I daresay will go rather quickly.
