#2Love the idea of only using stock Python.
Congratulations on the article.

#3That is awesome! Thanks!
Does anybody know the easiest way to compile to JVM bytecode? I have a Scheme interpreter written in Kotlin, what is the best way to compile it, instead of interpreting? Where do I start?

The most widely used library for dynamic bytecode generation is asm: http://asm.ow2.org/

Another possibility is using Truffle & Graal.

#6off topic question: When do you find time do such interesting things as these? I'd really like to dive deeper in this topic. As a CS student, who also got to work as a dev at the same time for a living, I'm even happy to get to sleep 8 hours.

Another alternative to jcdavis answer, is to just output bytecode in text format and use jasmin to compile it.

Or have a lookt at Kawa.

Examples of Lisp-2 compiler using Java and ASM:

#10Just what I love, a scientific and pedagogic CS article, in well formulated English.
I would appreciate some introductory notes or links to prerequisites though. That would perhaps entice an audience who has no previous experience in writing compilers.
