Skreeth
Dear Log,
Skreeth is progressing nicely. Today I implemented the special forms (if...), (and...), (or...), all of them with tests, and the slightly odd primitives (/
The Scheme concept of truth (i.e., truth is anything but the boolean false object #f) feels weird (zero is TRUE?!?), so I'm tentatively defining truth in Skreeth as being anything but nil/emptylist, false, and zero.
Still to do:
- defining and calling functions (as opposed to primitives or special forms)
- (cond...), (for...), and (let...)
- dozens of easy primitives
- all the PostScript-access primitives
- and the biggie: the actual Lisp parser-- i.e., (read...)
I pour myself a cup of strong coffee. :-)
