  • Hurl: A terrible but cute idea for a language

    Callcc as the underpinning of such a lang is interesting, but I think you might be better off with push-prompt, and an implementation of delimited dynamic binding to allow eg. Process migration.

    Wat is a very small language which does fexprs (validate calculus), delimited continuations, delimited dynamic binding, custom algebraic effects (try catch, fibres) on top of them, modules, and has a metacircular VM in a few hundred LOC. It's missing a native implementation but it's very impressive.

    Links to the formal research are in the readme.

  • Csexp: S-Expressions over the Network

    I think that you would be able to freeze certain variables in the closure, and have others open eg. API_ENDPOINT variable might be configured to change between environments.

    Something like https://github.com/GiacomoCau/wat-js implements delimited continuations, ddbinding and algebraic effects (registered handlers for I/O etc) - pushing continuations over the network should be easier with these facilities.

    I think this should be safe: https://github.com/phoe/safe-read

    This doesn’t provide such functionality out of the box, but it makes it pretty trivial to produce a custom READ that only has the features you want: https://github.com/s-expressionists/Eclector

What are some alternatives?

When comparing wat-js and safe-read you can also consider the following projects:

Eclector - A portable Common Lisp reader that is highly customizable, can recover from errors and can return concrete syntax trees

cl-secure-read - Securing a reader in spirit of Let Over Lambda

cl-safe-read - A variant of READ secure against internbombing, excessive input and macro characters.

exceptional - No control flow, only exceptions
