So fucking stupid. Pisses me off so much

This is the kinda of post I hate the most. A smugly superior useless “gotcha!” technicality reply that above all else *isn’t even technically correct*

Honestly a little shocked by the positive response to scheme-rs, I expected people to be much more dismissive!

New block post: Why I'm writing a Scheme Implementation in 2025 maplant.com/2025-02-17-W...

Turned 30 today, which means I just barely finished a CPS based scheme compiler during the spring of my youth

Just merged in JIT compilation for scheme-rs #scheme #rust github.com/maplant/sche...

The trick is commenting out tests

That's the final boss as far as I'm concerned:

Getting this PR finished is such a relief...

Okay, NOW we're so back

This is probably my most cursed code snippet ever. Presenting: the most difficult piece of code for a scheme implementation to implement correctly

Turns out we are NOT insanely back and properly compiling syntax case involves capturing the entire lexical environment so that you can pick up compilation after expansion

We are so insanely back

Funniest moment of working in SoHo so far happened on my second day, I was accosted by that dude that makes those “excuse me but what do you do for a living” videos. When I politely declined this man had the audacity to say to me, and I quote, “biggest mistake of your life pal”
