Weblog on CLR Implementation

Chris Brumme has a weblog about various design decissions that Microsoft programmers made when implementing the CLR. Lots of detailed, precise stuff that people interested in runtimes will love.

And Dan has a nice blog about Parrot.

Though, I should point out, not nearly so techinically detailed. I'm feeling rather inadequate at the moment. :)

Dan, blame it on the weather. I am going to be teaching about CPS and continuations tomorrow, and if you'd ask me right now to explain what safe-for-space means, I am not sure I'd able too. But I am sure it's just beacuse it 's so damn hot around here...

Anyway, feel free to post questions here. Some of the LtU regulars actually know a thing or too (when it's not too hot), and are always willing to help.

Heh. Darn that weather! When I have questions I usually don the flame-retardant suit and ask on the LL1 list, but at this point I think I'm set, other than (possibly) easy construction of first-class functions, and I may be set there.

I have finally given in to the lure of CPS as an implementation technique, barring last minute good arguments against, though. For whatever that's worth. (Since it's entirely transparent at the language level, it's just an implementation detail)

Well, no last minute arguments. Looks like parrot's going to go with a full CPS system (yes, I know, redundant) for sub/method/function calls. Makes too many important things easier, and gives too good a spot to wedge in security to not do it, so...
