| aguma | High-level languageWhat's a good way to make a high-level language that will compile into a stack-based language? More specifically, what's the best type of language that can easily compile into my scripting language for Spark? Since it's stack-based you wouldn't be able to do variables (except maybe writing them to a file and then retrieving them later...SLOW!!!) so what would you suggest? | 2009-03-12 | 8:57 PM |
| pharoah | Re:High-level languageWell one thing you could do is to add a heap to your stack based langauge or a dictionary. Almost all of them have at least one of these. Basically it's an array in memory that you can randomly access and resize. In forth it's a dynamically resized, non-garbage collected integer heap and the commands are:

| aguma | Re:High-level languageWow that was thorough! I keep coming up with questions, and then erasing them once I find that you've already said the answer in your post :P. | 2009-03-13 | 2:13 PM |
| pharoah | Re:High-level languageBeing a bit of a lazy programmer myself, I have embarked on a long journey to find more minimalist solutions to problems to minimize my own work in coding. That's how I found out about stack based languages, and then I delved deeper into reading about the way they work. I've also lately figured out how to use pointers, which are pretty necessary.
Anyway I haven't forgotten my promise to write some kind of quick example. I will do that soon. | 2009-03-13 | 3:34 PM |
