17:04:39alandipertstarting to ponder more deeply how to go about bootstrapping, it's pretty mindbendy! but fun. this compiler stuff is a fantastic hobby
17:05:10beachBootstrapping is hard. Especially with Common Lisp.
17:07:05beachBut at least now I know why it is harder to write a Common Lisp in Common Lisp than it is to write a C compiler in C. :)
17:10:56alandipertyeah! all those features, so convenient to use. but then you have to implement them, and in a particular non-obvious order
17:11:57beachThat's only if you bootstrap the way most people do. Which is why I do it differently, so that I don't have to worry about the order so much.
17:30:42beachCan I assume that you have read my bootstrapping paper, or the relevant sections in the SICL specification?
17:40:17beachAnyway, I need to go fix dinner for my (admittedly small) family.
18:01:24alandipertbeach i have read http://metamodular.com/SICL/bootstrapping.pdf if that's what you mean (it's great)
19:00:37beachYes, that's the one I was referring to.
