I think I have a version of MAKE-ARRAY that is not very optimal, that lacks certain checks on the arguments, and that can not handle displaced arrays, but it seems to be enough for Eclector to create an instance of.

Soon, we will have a person coming over in order to determine whether we qualify for government a subsidy for better insulation in the roof, so I'll be on and off for the rest of the day.

I am pretty excited about this progress, because of several things. First, I had anticipated more trouble with MAKE-ARRAY, so that was nice. Then, Eclector is the last external library that needs to be loaded before we can work on creating an executable with a RPL.

There is more work for such an executable, of course, but it doesn't involve external libraries. We need a primitive call-site manager, and we need code generation. And, the biggie, the creation of an initial target first-class global environments, and then mapping all that to the global heap.

The insulation person will be here shortly, so I'll be away for a while. Not sure how long it will take, but no more than half an hour I would think.

Well, that was quick. Our insulation is not only great for the time the house was built in 1993. It even conforms to the more recent, more demanding, norms of today. So no work is needed.

I am about to call it a day. But I'll stick around until my (admittedly small) family announces that dinner is served in an hour or so.

My (admittedly small) family just announced that dinner is served. I'll be back tomorrow.
