Reply To: Inspiration to bytecode from the belt model

This sounds like a plausible approach, at least for the start. It is certainly not a Mill, but we don’t mind if you describe it as “inspired by the Mill architecture” 🙂 Please let the Forum know how you progress.

BTW, a personal bias in designing and implementing language front-ends: I never use a separate parser. Instead I write a recursive-descent LL1 recognizer that does semantics (and frequently at least the front of optimization and code generation) on the fly. I find that this approach is significantly cleaner and easier to maintain and extend than separate parsets (especially those produced by parser-generators), and give much better error messages for the user. YMMV 🙂
