← Back to context Comment by frankjr 2 years ago Thanks. I'm now reading this where people are trying to explain what happened in the ref/ directory.https://github.com/kparc/ksimple/blob/main/a.c 5 comments frankjr Reply dcuthbertson 2 years ago Thanks for that link. The comments there help a lot. If I understand them, this is a minimal implementation of K with a lot of limitations, such as:"the only supported atom/vector type is 8bit integer, so beware of overflows"Still, it's fascinating how an interpreter can be written with such a small amount of code. tromp 2 years ago An interpreter for BLC, including tokenizing, parsing, and evaluation, can be written in as few as 29 bytes of BLC (and 650 bytes of C). tasuki 2 years ago John, do tell more about BLC please! 2 replies →
