Stackless and proper tail recursion
by Lenard Lindstrom March 8, 2006

March 8, 2006

Just out of curiosity, has any consideration been given to include proper tail recursion in stackless PyPy. I know this would affect tracebacks, so would be a run time or build option. But given Python's functional features it is a shame to have to consider frame proliferation for even the simplest tail call. Lenard Lindstrom <len-l(a)telus.net>

Implementing an embedded language
by Sanghyeon Seo March 4, 2006

March 4, 2006

You may be interested in this (rough) article I came across: http://liw.iki.fi/liw/misc/hh-blurb.pdf It describes an in-house implementation of a programming language (Lisp dialect) for embedded use. An interesting quote (p. 26): "... The C implementation was done in two stages. First, the Python implementation was rewritten in Python, but using constructs that would easily map into C. For example, simple garbage collection was implemented, and data structures were simple arrays, rather than … [View More]
