  • Understanding tail-call optimization

    Lately, I've been working on optimizations for my language, ArkScript, and finally take some time to add tail-call optimization to my compiler.

    Until recently, when we wanted to create new releases for ArkScript, we had to build the language on all the system we support (currently Windows and Linux), build the modules (http, console, random, etc), test everything on each operating system, and then package the needed files and directory in ZIPs. We had to go to GitHub, create a new release, add the correct tag (and not mix it with the title as they are different things!), grep the latest changelog, and add our artifacts.

    Currently building the type system for BoringLang https://github.com/asegavac/boring-lang, the boring programming language. After several years of working professionally with Golang's type system, I've decided to finally build my own programming language with the goal of actually being simple and consistent while paying attention to the advancements in PL theory of the last twenty years.
