I am building educational 16-bit game console for low-cost FPGA chips. https://github.com/true-grue/Brus-16

A microlibrary in 52 LOC.

In some parallel world, Python is the perfect tool for language-oriented programming. Any decorated function is compiled by its own DSL compiler into the internal representation of…

Or you can use Python AST + Z3 :) Here is a toy implementation: https://github.com/true-grue/python-dsls/blob/main/datalog/d...

It's funny how close it is to the title of my talk "Python already has a frontend for your compiler": https://github.com/true-grue/python-dsls

I hope someone will write an article about Gary Kildall's achievements in theory of compilation. For us, compiler writers, he is a legendary figure.

What I like about these notes is that a complex topic is described in a simple and very practical manner. By the way, a few years ago there was another project on creating a code g…

Here are more real-world, compiler-related examples: https://github.com/true-grue/python-dsls/blob/main/python_ds...

By the way, there is a similar work to Unison project. Its basic idea is to automate the compiler backend generation with help of SMT solver. The article: https://link.springer.com…

Basically, yes, so I tried to make a simple implementation as possible. And I'm taking into account that students are already familiar with postfix notation and stack data structur…

If you are familiar with Forth, Postscript, or Joy you should have no problems with programming in Fortik :) Still, the idea of Fortik is to encourage students to learn how simple …

The chip is closer to AsAP [1] and XMOS xCore [2]. I remember that these two chips-competitors already existed when I was programming the predecessor of Greenarrays GA144. By the w…

Sure, my code is only a demonstration that you can fit everything in Again, thank you very much for all your education reverse engineering works!

Here is my simple port of VoxelSpace (74 sloc). Written in Python 3, no additional libraries required. https://github.com/true-grue/terrain Looks like Python+Tkinter is a good demo…

About Warren's article. I just returned it back, sorry for the inconvenience :) By the way, you may find basically the same description of the compiler in The Art of Prolog book.

And here is an another pattern matching implementation for Python [1]. It was made for compilers construction task and may look similiar for those who has an experience with Prolog…

Thank you, really interesting reading! It would be interesting to see how this rule ("x = (y + c1) + c2 => x = y + (с1 + с2)") was encoded in the compiler. I guess it has more comp…

I think there definitely is some similarity between Kuryokhin and Zoshchenko. "Stories about Lenin" by M. Zoshchenko have some absurd/satire elements. And these elements were almos…

You almost made me think that "Wag the Dog" is a Russian movie [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wag_the_Dog
