February 2021 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
After several failed projects, I finally started work on (and have made a lot of progress on) a programming language project that I'm really happy with. My language bread is an expression based, dynamically typed, object oriented language scripting language. When I learned rust, I was particularly excited by the idea of having if-expressions (rather than if-statements) in an imperative language. I went with that idea, and made a language where pretty much everything (function definitions, loops, class definitions) is an expression. I'm not sure how useful the language is, but it's been a lot of fun to write and hopefully I'll find some use for it.

Since last month I've been working on garbage collection and string handling in my Lisp compiler. I've found writing the garbage collector to be hard but strings are fun :)

I just added variable-arity functions to my lisp which compiles to Cranelift. I was blocked for a while trying to work out how to convince Cranelift to put arguments on the stack but eventually gave up and I now heap allocate a location for function arguments. It's not great for performance but it feels great to have finally finished it!

I’ve been carrying on working on compiling my lisp this month. It’s been a fun couple weeks because I’ve finally gotten to the fun stuff like higher order functions, closures, and adding the ability to call into libc.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing bread and lisp you can also consider the following projects:
Foray - A concatenative language written in Zig
rust_lisp - A Rust-embeddable Lisp, with support for interop with native Rust functions
rumi - The rumi compiler
aulang - simple and fast scripting language
lang - A toy language I'm making in my spare time.
c3c - Compiler for the C3 language
Ameyo - Habit + task tracking Chrome extension built with React, Typescript, SCSS, Express, MongoDB, Firebase, + Jest
